What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

About our bath resealing in Ashington

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Ashington

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashington

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
