About our bath resealing in Westgate
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 resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Resealing in Westgate: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Westgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Westgate customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Westgate
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you come to Westgate?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Westgate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.

Do you need bath resealing in Westgate?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
