About our remedial sealant in Apse Heath
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you’re dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can put it right, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints alike.
Around Apse Heath, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Run the fan after every shower
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
What affects the quote in Apse Heath
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Apse Heath questions
Do you take on hotel work around Apse Heath?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover smaller places like Apse Heath?
Yes. Apse Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, 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. Somewhere like Apse Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Apse Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
