About our bathroom resealing in Westwell
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Westwell. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about splits where the tray meets the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Somewhere as small as Westwell, 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.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Leave it or put it right?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Westwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Westwell needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

Bathroom resealing in Westwell: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as The Hayesbrook School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common problems we fix in Westwell
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Rented homes near Charing station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions from Westwell
Do you cover Westwell for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Westwell is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Charing 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 price.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
