Bath resealing for Sandon homes

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing in Sandon, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sandon

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

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.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Sandon: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Sandon

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandon

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
