Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Ash Magna without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, we can generally put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Ash Magna

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How much does bath resealing cost in Ash Magna?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

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.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ash Magna

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Ash Magna. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Ash Magna

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
