About our bath resealing in Standen

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Resealing in Standen: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Standen

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you work in Standen?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Standen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does bath resealing cost in Standen?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
