How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

FAQs for Sandyhills
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Sandyhills?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Sandyhills and the rest of Glasgow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need bath resealing in Sandyhills?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Sandyhills
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sandyhills, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
