About our remedial sealant in Billericay
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help.
Billericay mixes older houses with estates built more recently, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Either way, the sealant and grout are normally the first things to fail.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Never seal over old silicone
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.

What else we do in Billericay
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
Signs you need remedial sealant in Billericay
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
Homes close to Church of St Mary Magdalene include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking in a town like Billericay is generally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Billericay station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like Sunnymede Junior School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
