About our bath resealing in Sandford Orcas

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Sandford Orcas. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Do you need bath resealing in Sandford Orcas?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
