About our bath resealing in Ashampstead

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Ashampstead

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for 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 price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

FAQs for Ashampstead

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ashampstead.

Which areas do you work in?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.
