Bath resealing in West End, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Signs you need bath resealing in West End
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in West End
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from West End
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you cover West End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to West End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
