How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Sandway without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

When we visit, 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 let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Sandway. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sandway

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
