Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, 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. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Sandy Bottom
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
