How we handle bath resealing in Upper Sanday
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Common problems we fix in Upper Sanday
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Landlord and trade work in Upper Sanday
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Upper Sanday
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
