Bath resealing for Long Ashes homes

Landlord and trade work in Long Ashes

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Ashes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Bath resealing in Long Ashes without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Long Ashes and across North Yorkshire.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Long Ashes questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

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.

Are there extra charges for Long Ashes?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Long Ashes?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Long Ashes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
