About our bath resealing in Ayleford

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Ayleford

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Ayleford

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Common reasons people in Ayleford contact us include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Ayleford questions

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What affects the price in Ayleford

We do not charge extra for travel to Ayleford. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
