How we handle remedial sealant in Abbotswood
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are beads that never stuck properly and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Even in a smaller place like Abbotswood, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abbotswood
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it. In a smaller place like Abbotswood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking around Abbotswood is usually 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Abbotswood homes and their sealant
Abbotswood has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Lanesborough School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Christ Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Abbotswood
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
For landlords with property near London Road (Guildford) station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
