About our remedial sealant in Alton
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We’re often asked to deal with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Most bathrooms in a town like Alton are in family homes, used every day, which is hard on sealant and grout. The usual signs are mould in the bead, gaps by the sink and grout that’s cracked or stained.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Alton
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Alton: your questions answered
I let a flat near Alton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Alton?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before work begins.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In Alton, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

What remedial sealant looks like in Alton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Alton has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Alton station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Alton, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Run the fan after every shower
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
