About our bath resealing in Ayston

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Ayston

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Ayston

Do you work in Ayston?

We do. We send a technician to Ayston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
