Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Westgate. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish 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.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westgate

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Westgate, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
