How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

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

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our pricing.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

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.

Advice

When to call us in Ainsty

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Ainsty

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LS22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
