Bath resealing for Sandon homes

About our bath resealing in Sandon

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. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Sandon questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What we are called out for in Sandon

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Sandon

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
