Trusted bath resealing in Westgate-on-Sea

How we handle bath resealing in Westgate-on-Sea

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Westgate-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Westgate-on-Sea

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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.
