Bath resealing in Long Sandall, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What affects the price in Long Sandall

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Long Sandall, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Long Sandall

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Long Sandall?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Long Sandall?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Long Sandall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath resealing in Long Sandall

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Sandall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

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