When to call us in Bovinger
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Managing a site like St Andrew's CofE Primary School? Then 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.

How we handle remedial sealant in Bovinger
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould underneath the bead and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
For a small place like Bovinger, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Bovinger as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bovinger
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Bovinger, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What remedial sealant looks like in Bovinger
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Germain, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Bovinger, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bovinger
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Deal with small splits early
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
