Bath resealing for Ashingdon homes

Bath resealing in Ashingdon without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashingdon

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Ashingdon questions

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ashingdon

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
