Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Westwood, Kent
Baths, showers and worktops in Westwood need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Why it’s worth doing now in Westwood
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. In an older home around Westwood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Westwood
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
For landlords with property near Margate station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Bathroom resealing around Westwood
Westwood is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Westwood is about 1 mile south of Margate, in Kent. Westwood gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Questions from Westwood
Is Westwood in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Westwood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Westwood within the area you cover?
Yes. Westwood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Westwood
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Parking around Westwood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
