How we handle bath resealing in Westhouses
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Westhouses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Westhouses
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Common problems we fix in Westhouses
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Advice
Why reseal now?
