How we handle bath resealing in Sandford
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and leaks at the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
FAQs for Sandford
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Sandford. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sandford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
What we are called out for in Sandford
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
