Bath resealing at your home in Sandy Balls
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Sandy Balls: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Sandy Balls

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
