Bath resealing in Sandylane

Bath resealing in Sandylane, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandylane

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Sandylane

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Sandylane: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
