Bath resealing at your home in Asheldham

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with 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. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Asheldham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Asheldham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Asheldham

We charge the same across the UK, including Asheldham. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common questions in Asheldham

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
