Remedial sealant in Batchworth, done properly
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Around Batchworth, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Batchworth as everywhere else we work.

Do you need remedial sealant in Batchworth?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Rented homes near Rickmansworth station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What remedial sealant looks like in Batchworth
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Batchworth: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Rickmansworth station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Batchworth?
Yes, Batchworth is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Batchworth can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What we do, step by step

The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on how much there is to do.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
