Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

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.

About our bath resealing in Westwood

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Westwood

Do you work in Westwood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Westwood. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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