Bath resealing at your home in Westby
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about bath resealing in Westby
Do you cover Westby?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Westby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Westby.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
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.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
