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.

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.

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

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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

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
