Bath resealing in Sandplace without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Sandplace questions
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
We cover the whole UK, including Sandplace and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What bath resealing costs

- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Sandplace, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need bath resealing in Sandplace
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include

When we’d advise against a repair

Resealing in Sandplace: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
