How we handle bath resealing in Ashby
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are often asked to fix an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our prices page.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
FAQs for Ashby
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Common problems we fix in Ashby
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
Before you book anyone

- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
