Bath resealing in Ashton, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Ashton

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Ashton
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ashton
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you cover Ashton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ashton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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, once the joint is completely dry.
What we are called out for in Ashton
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
