Bath Resealing for Sandness homes
We travel to Sandness for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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, so the joint is at its widest.
How we handle bath resealing in Sandness
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Sandness questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Sandness?
We do. We send a technician to Sandness for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Are there extra charges for Sandness?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Sandness
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
