Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
FAQs for Ashington
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ashington. Prices do not change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
