Westwood questions
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Westwood.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cover the whole UK, including Westwood and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Bath resealing at your home in Westwood
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What else we do in Westwood
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Landlord and trade work in Westwood
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Westwood
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Westwood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
