Remedial sealant in Bobbingworth, done properly
Remedial jobs in Bobbingworth generally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have over-sealed joints coming away and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can put it right.
For a small place like Bobbingworth, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What we’re called out for in Bobbingworth
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Moreton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Bobbingworth questions
Is remedial sealant in Bobbingworth guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Bobbingworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Bobbingworth homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Germain, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bobbingworth
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Bobbingworth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
