Bath Resealing in Ash Corner
We travel to Ash Corner for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Ash Corner without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
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.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why it’s worth resealing in Ash Corner
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Ash Corner clients choose us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about bath resealing in Ash Corner
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ash Corner
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
