About our bathroom resealing in Westfield
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you are dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Westfield, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How the job changes 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, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Bathroom resealing in Westfield: local notes
Westfield is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Rented homes near Slateford 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.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers for a typical job. In a city area like Westfield, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Leave it or put it right?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Westfield, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we’re called out for in Westfield
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
If you look after a building such as Balgreen Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

FAQs for Westfield
Do you take on hotel work around Westfield?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I’m in a tenement in Westfield. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Westfield.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
