Bath resealing in Westhall without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Westhall
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you work in Westhall?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Westhall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
