Bath resealing in Western Park without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Western Park and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Western Park: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlord and trade work in Western Park
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Western Park
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
