Westgate-on-Sea: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Westgate-on-Sea?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Westgate-On-Sea station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
About our remedial sealant in Westgate-on-Sea
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Homes around Westgate-on-Sea range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and commercial work in Westgate-on-Sea
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 work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How it works
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 few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a smaller place like Westgate-on-Sea, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For remedial sealant in Westgate-on-Sea, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Westgate-on-Sea, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
