How we handle bathroom resealing in Westwell Leacon
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, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath panel and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
For a small place like Westwell Leacon, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Westwell Leacon
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Charing station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as The Hayesbrook School are buildings too, and 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Charing Methodist Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Westwell Leacon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

Questions from Westwell Leacon
Do you cover smaller places like Westwell Leacon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Charing station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
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.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
