Bath resealing in Sandy

How we handle bath resealing in Sandy

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Sandy

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Sandy, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sandy

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Sandy questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Sandy

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Sandy

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What affects the price in Sandy

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
