About our bath resealing in Ashmore Green
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Ashmore Green
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Ashmore Green. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
