Remedial sealant & repairs in Abinger Bottom, Surrey
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Abinger Bottom? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
How we handle remedial sealant in Abinger Bottom
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you are dealing with thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Abinger Bottom, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Abinger Bottom as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Abinger Bottom
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you let a flat or house near Gomshall station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Abinger Bottom can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
