DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Bathroom resealing in West Stoke
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have a joint torn by a bath that flexes and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like West Stoke makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in West Stoke
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like West Stoke, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in West Stoke
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Rented homes near Fishbourne station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
West Stoke: your questions answered
Is West Stoke in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Stoke is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Fishbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Is white the only colour available?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Failed grout lines across the wall

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Stoke, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
