Bath resealing in Ayton

About our bath resealing in Ayton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ayton

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you come to Ayton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ayton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we are called out for in Ayton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ayton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ayton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
