Bath resealing in Sandy Lane, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Sandy Lane
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you work in Sandy Lane?
We do. We send a technician to Sandy Lane for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Why it’s worth resealing in Sandy Lane
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
