Bath resealing in Riverside, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newport.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What we are called out for in Riverside

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Riverside questions

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Riverside included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How much does bath resealing cost in Riverside?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
