Bath resealing for Ashton homes

About our bath resealing in Ashton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Ashton?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ashton questions

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
