Bath resealing in Ruscote, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Advice
Questions from Ruscote
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
