About our bath resealing in West Studdal
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in West Studdal
There’s no charge for travel to West Studdal. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
