Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Why act early in Horndon on the Hill
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Horndon on the Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant

How the job changes by surface

Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
