Bath resealing in Westcot

Bath resealing at your home in Westcot

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Westcot

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our pricing.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath resealing in Westcot

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Questions from Westcot

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Landlord and trade work in Westcot

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
