Bath resealing in Ashley

About our bath resealing in Ashley

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Ashley

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Ashley

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ashley

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you come to Ashley?

We do. We send a technician to Ashley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Ashley

If you manage property in Ashley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
