Bath resealing for Ashwell End homes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Ashwell End

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashwell End

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Ashwell End

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Ashwell End questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Do you work in Ashwell End?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ashwell End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
