About our remedial sealant in Bentfield Green
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 is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are beads that never stuck properly and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
Being in a small place like Bentfield Green makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Clean sealant with mild products only
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
What we’re called out for in Bentfield Green
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Managing a site like Bentfield Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What remedial sealant looks like in Bentfield Green
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bentfield Green. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.

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

Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
