Bath resealing in Sacombe without replacing anything
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 baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sacombe and across Hertfordshire.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Sacombe questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why it’s worth resealing in Sacombe
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Signs you need bath resealing in Sacombe
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sacombe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
