Bath resealing at your home in Ashgill
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Ashgill. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Ashgill: your questions answered
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
