About our remedial sealant in Braiswick
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. If you’re dealing with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Braiswick, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Braiswick
Is Braiswick within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Colchester station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
What remedial sealant looks like in Braiswick
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Braiswick. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Colchester County High School for Girls? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Colchester station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Somewhere as small as Braiswick, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Why deal with it now?
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. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a small place like Braiswick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Braiswick
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Homes close to Church of St Leonard include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
