Need bath resealing in Sandown?

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Bath resealing in Sandown, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Sandown: your questions answered

Do you work in Sandown?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sandown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Sandown and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

When to call us in Sandown

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sandown

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
