About our bath resealing in Astley
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Astley
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Common problems we fix in Astley
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Astley questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Astley?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your M29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Astley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Astley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
