About our bath resealing in Sandy Down
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sandy Down. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Sandy Down
- Basins & vanity units

- Shower trays & enclosures
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Sandy Down
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Sandy Down. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
