Need bath resealing in Ashwater?

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

About our bath resealing in Ashwater

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When to call us in Ashwater

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashwater

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashwater use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Ashwater

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ashwater. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What affects the price in Ashwater

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Ashwater get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
