Common questions in Riverside
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Bath resealing in Riverside, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What affects the price in Riverside
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
