Bath resealing in Ashton without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ashton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What else we do in Ashton
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ashton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
What affects the price in Ashton
We do not charge extra for travel to Ashton. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the 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 quote.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
