About our remedial sealant in Black Notley
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
For a small place like Black Notley, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Why deal with it now?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Black Notley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Can you do remedial sealant in Black Notley?

Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Black Notley
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Over-sealed joints coming away
For landlords with property near Cressing station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
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.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Black Notley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Remedial sealant around Black Notley
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Braintree Sixth Form, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
