Common problems we fix in Sandford St Martin

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sandford St Martin

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Sandford St Martin

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
