We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
About our bath resealing in West Park
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Questions from West Park
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What affects the price in West Park
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in West Park get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Resealing in West Park: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
