Westbrook questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Margate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Westbrook?
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 I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Westbrook
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single 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’re dealing with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can help.
In a smaller place like Westbrook, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Common problems we fix in Westbrook
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What else we do in Westbrook
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. A visit to Westbrook is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Westbrook homes and their sealant
Westbrook is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Westbrook. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Schools such as Garlinge Primary School and Nursery are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Margate station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Other landmarks nearby include Westwood Cross (2.3 miles south-east) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (1.3 miles south-east). Open spaces near Westbrook include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. In a smaller place like Westbrook, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
