- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Do you need remedial sealant in Artington?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Artington
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you are dealing with beads that never stuck properly and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Around Artington, 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: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Artington as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Remedial sealant in Artington: local notes
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Artington. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Schools such as Shalford Infant School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. Somewhere as small as Artington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

Will you come out to Artington?
Yes. Artington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
