Bath resealing in West Hythe without replacing anything
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’re dealing with an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Repairs by material
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 affects the price in West Hythe
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in West Hythe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Hythe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in West Hythe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for West Hythe
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work in West Hythe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Hythe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
