DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.

Common questions in Westcotes
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you cover the whole of Leicester?
The entire UK, including all of Leicester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Common problems we fix in Westcotes
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Why it’s worth resealing in Westcotes
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
