How we handle bath resealing in Ashley
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and damp near the bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Ashley
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Ashley contact us are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking

- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What affects the price in Ashley
There’s no area surcharge for Ashley. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Resealing in Ashley: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
