About our bath resealing in Ashford Bowdler
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlord and trade work in Ashford Bowdler
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashford Bowdler as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Ashford Bowdler
There is no charge for travel to Ashford Bowdler. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Ashford Bowdler: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Ashford Bowdler is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
