Trusted bath resealing in Salway Ash

Bath resealing in Salway Ash, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about stained silicone and damp near the bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salway Ash

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Salway Ash

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you accredited?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Salway Ash?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Salway Ash. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Salway Ash. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in Salway Ash

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
