Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Westmarsh
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include a reseal done over the top of the old bead and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands.
In a village or hamlet like Westmarsh, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Westmarsh, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
When to call us in Westmarsh
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Around Westmarsh, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westmarsh, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Westmarsh
Will you come out to Westmarsh?
Yes, Westmarsh is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Westmarsh?
Yes, Westmarsh is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
