About our bath resealing in Westmill

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Resealing in Westmill: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Westmill

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Common questions in Westmill

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work in Westmill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Westmill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westmill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Westmill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
