How the visit works

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, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Bath resealing in Ashgate without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Resealing in Ashgate: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ashgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Ashgate

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do you cover Ashgate?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ashgate. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Ashgate

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
