Why reseal now?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we handle bath resealing in West Bank
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in West Bank
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Other services in West Bank
Do you need bath resealing in West Bank?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in West Bank, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in West Bank
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
