Abbotts Ann Remedial Sealant
Failed sealant joints in Abbotts Ann need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
How we handle remedial sealant in Abbotts Ann
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about dark patches showing through the sealant and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
Homes around Abbotts Ann are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Remedial sealant around Abbotts Ann
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Andover station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Do you need remedial sealant in Abbotts Ann?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you look after a building such as Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Abbotts Ann, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
