Bath resealing in Westgate, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, 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 Westgate
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

What we are called out for in Westgate
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Westgate
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you work in Westgate?
We do. Technicians travel to Westgate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
