Need bath resealing in Ashley?

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

About our bath resealing in Ashley

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Ashley questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ashley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Ashley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
