Bath resealing in Westowe

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath resealing in Westowe without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Westowe?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean 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’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Landlord and trade work in Westowe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Westowe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Questions from Westowe

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long before I can shower?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
