Bath Resealing in Shorne Ridgeway
Local bath resealing for Shorne Ridgeway: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath resealing in Shorne Ridgeway
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, in baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
