About our remedial sealant in Alverstone
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Being in a small place like Alverstone makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Alverstone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Alverstone can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Old sealant always removed completely
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
When to call us in Alverstone
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Alverstone
Alverstone is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Sandown station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Managing a site like Newchurch Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Alverstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
