- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in Ashcombe, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ashcombe as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashcombe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ashcombe
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Resealing in Ashcombe: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
