Remedial sealant in Alresford, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Typical jobs include gaps opening along the back of the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Smaller places like Alresford still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How it 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 most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a job in Alresford, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
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.
Remedial sealant around Alresford
Alresford is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Saint Andrew's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Alresford station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Alresford Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward 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.
Alresford questions
I let a flat near Alresford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Alresford for remedial sealant?

Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Alresford?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

What else we do in Alresford
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Don’t point over movement joints
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
