How we handle bath resealing in Aston
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aston: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Aston?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not 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 make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
