How we handle bath resealing in Ashfield Cum Thorpe
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashfield Cum Thorpe
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
If you are in Ashfield Cum Thorpe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Ashfield Cum Thorpe questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you need bath resealing in Ashfield Cum Thorpe?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
