When to call us in Sandiway

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

About our bath resealing in Sandiway

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sandiway

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What affects the price in Sandiway

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
