Trusted bath resealing in Ashwellthorpe

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Bath resealing in Ashwellthorpe, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

10 questions to ask before you book

Ashwellthorpe questions

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

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.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ashwellthorpe?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
