Bath resealing in Westwell Leacon, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.

Questions from Westwell Leacon
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Most clients in Westwell Leacon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- Shower trays & enclosures
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Westwell Leacon
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Westwell Leacon contact us are:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
