Remedial sealant in Surrey: how it works

Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and repeat leaks from the same joint.

On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out.

  1. The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
  2. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
  3. Mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
  5. We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

What affects the price in Surrey

Local landmarks in Guildford

Around Guildford, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School. You’ll also find Church of St John the Evangelist (within half a mile east), Stoke Park (less than half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (within half a mile south-east). Guildford’s nearest station is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). For a walk, there’s Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Bathrooms and kitchens across Surrey

Across Surrey, from Guildford, Woking and Camberley outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials.

Guildford: In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to London Road (Guildford) station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Why deal with it now?

A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • What the cure time is
  • Whether they’re fully insured

Looking after it afterwards

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never seal over old silicone
  • Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
  • Act on a lifting corner straight away
  • Clean sealant with mild products only

Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.

Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

Landlord and commercial work in Surrey

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

Should I try it myself first?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What sealant work can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Movement from fittings that are not supported
  • Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
  • Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays

Common questions in Surrey

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Can you match the sealant colour?

We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

What should I tell you?

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?

Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.

Do I have to be there?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try DIY first?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
