How we handle bath resealing in Ashton-on-Ribble

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashton-on-Ribble

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Ashton-on-Ribble

We charge the same across the UK, including Ashton-on-Ribble. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ashton-on-Ribble

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Ashton-on-Ribble and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
