Ballards Gore Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Ballards Gore? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ballards Gore
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. If you have mould trapped under a layer of silicone and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Ballards Gore, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.

- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Deal with small splits early
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ballards Gore
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Ballards Gore, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
