Need bath resealing in Ashmansworth?

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashmansworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

How we handle bath resealing in Ashmansworth

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Ashmansworth questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Ashmansworth?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ashmansworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Ashmansworth

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashmansworth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
