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 work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Sandside
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Everything repaired in place

Signs you need bath resealing in Sandside
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Mould you cannot clean out
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Sandside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Sandside
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:

- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
