Bath resealing near Westport

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Westport

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 silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Westport

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Westport

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Westport. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westport

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westport as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
