Bath resealing at your home in West Cliff
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Why it’s worth resealing in West Cliff
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Common problems we fix in West Cliff
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
