Trusted bath resealing in Westwood

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our bath resealing in Westwood

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Westwood

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Westwood?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Westwood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
