Bath resealing for Sandford homes

About our bath resealing in Sandford

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BH20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Sandford

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Sandford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Sandford questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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