How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Abinger Common, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Remedial sealant in Abinger Common
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Abinger Common, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Abinger Common: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gomshall station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Abinger Common?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Abinger Common is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Abinger Common
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Abinger Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Remedial sealant around Abinger Common
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Gomshall station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Belmont Prep School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
