West Dean Bathroom Resealing
We cover West Dean for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
What we are called out for in West Dean
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Schools such as West Dean CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Bathroom resealing in West Dean
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you have a joint torn by a bath that flexes and black spots spreading through the bead, we can help.
Being in a small place like West Dean makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Questions from West Dean
I let a flat near Fishbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is West Dean within the area you cover?
Yes, West Dean is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
West Dean homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Andrew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Fishbourne station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Landlords and agents in West Dean can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like West Dean needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
