Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How we handle bath resealing in Ashton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Ashton questions

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

Dry the seal after bathing
Let steam out after showers
Store bottles on a shelf
Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Movement in the bath or tray
Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

Shower trays & enclosures
Kitchen worktops & sinks

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

Whether we combine several jobs
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Access to the area
The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

Natural light rather than flash
One sharp close-up of the damage
A picture taken from further back
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
