How we handle bath resealing in Ainsdale
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Ainsdale questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Common problems we fix in Ainsdale
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
Resealing in Ainsdale: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ainsdale
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Ainsdale
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
