What happens on the day

Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it. Somewhere like West Barns needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there’s no second trip.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Older homes around West Barns may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What else we do in West Barns
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Barns
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in West Barns, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
