Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sandygate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Sandygate without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sandygate and across Sheffield.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Resealing in Sandygate: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
