Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ashford, Devon
Our repair technicians come to Ashford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Ashford
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Ashford: your questions answered
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ashford?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ashford
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- 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 will say if you need a builder or plumber.
