Landlord and trade work in Sandonbank
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath resealing at your home in Sandonbank
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Common problems we fix in Sandonbank
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Sandonbank
Do you come to Sandonbank?
We do. Technicians travel to Sandonbank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Sandonbank
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
