How we handle bath resealing in Santon
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. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Santon
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Santon?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Santon: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
