About our bath resealing in Ash Mill

Preparation is everything in a reseal: 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. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ash Mill

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Ash Mill?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Ash Mill questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How much does bath resealing cost in Ash Mill?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ash Mill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ash Mill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Ash Mill

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
