- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we handle bath resealing in Ashwell
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ashwell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Ashwell questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashwell
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath resealing in Ashwell?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
