Bath resealing in Afton without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Afton questions
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Afton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Afton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Afton. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

Why it’s worth resealing in Afton
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
