Bath resealing in Ashbank

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

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.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get 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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Ashbank

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ashbank included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you need bath resealing in Ashbank?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
