Landlord and trade work in Askerswell
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Bath resealing at your home in Askerswell
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and leaks at the edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Askerswell questions
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Askerswell
Common problems we fix in Askerswell
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
