Trusted bath resealing in Westhorp

Bath resealing in Westhorp without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Westhorp

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Are there extra charges for Westhorp?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
