Resealing in West End: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why West End clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What we’re called out for in West End

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in West End

If you manage property in West End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

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.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in West End

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover West End?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West End. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
