Why it’s worth resealing in Westward Ho!
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Westward Ho!. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath resealing in Westward Ho! without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Westward Ho! questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Westward Ho! and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Landlord and trade work in Westward Ho!
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
