What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Alkham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Alkham
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are torn expansion joints and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Being in a small place like Alkham makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Questions from Alkham
Can you do remedial sealant in Alkham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Alkham is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kearsney station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Why it’s worth doing now in Alkham
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a small place like Alkham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.

Alkham homes and their sealant
Alkham is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Homes close to Church of St Anthony the Martyr include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Kearsney station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
