Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Bath resealing in West Hill without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Landlord and trade work in West Hill
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Your questions about bath resealing in West Hill
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.
