Bath resealing in Aike

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Bath resealing in Aike without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.

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.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Aike

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why it’s worth resealing in Aike

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting 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 you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
