About our bath resealing in Kempston West End
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Kempston West End
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kempston West End. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Kempston West End, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kempston West End as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
