Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandwich
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we handle bath resealing in Sandwich
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Sandwich
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Sandwich
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Sandwich?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
