Bath resealing in Westdene without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath resealing in Westdene?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Westdene
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN1 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Westdene. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise 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.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Westdene, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
