Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for West View
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
