How we handle bath resealing in Ayresome
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common questions in Ayresome
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How much does bath resealing cost in Ayresome?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you come to Ayresome?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ayresome. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Ayresome
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Ayresome get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
