Bath resealing in West Bay, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in West Bay

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

West Bay: your questions answered

Is repairing better 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.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in West Bay?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Bay. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

Landlord and trade work in West Bay

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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