Trusted bath resealing in Westbere

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath resealing in Westbere

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Westbere: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT2 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westbere

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
