What we are called out for in Westbere
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Westbere
Across Westbere, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Somewhere as small as Westbere, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Westbere questions
I let a flat near Sturry station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Westbere?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a small place like Westbere, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach 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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Westbere
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Spires Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. Around Westbere, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
