Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Westbourne, West Sussex
Bathroom resealing across Westbourne and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black spots spreading through the bead
How we handle bathroom resealing in Westbourne
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands.
In a village or hamlet like Westbourne, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Westbourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Westbourne homes and their sealant
Westbourne is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St John the Baptist's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westbourne Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Westbourne is about 3 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Jobs in Westbourne get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Westbourne is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover for bathroom resealing. For nearby work, see our Portsmouth page.
We work across PO10 for bathroom resealing and the streets around it. If you need bathroom resealing at a property on The Square, Church Road and Crockford Road or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. If you are just outside Westbourne, we cover Lumley (1 mile south), Woodmancote (1 mile east), Emsworth (1 mile south-west), Southbourne (1 mile south-east) and Denvilles (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (12 miles south-east), Chichester (7 miles east), Selsey (11 miles south-east), Portfield (7 miles east), Yapton (14 miles east) and East Wittering (7 miles south).
Landmarks near Westbourne

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. In a small place like Westbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Westbourne
Can you do bathroom resealing in Westbourne?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Westbourne is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Emsworth station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
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 as long as we advise for that product.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Is white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
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.

When to call us in Westbourne
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Letting a property close to Emsworth station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
