About our remedial sealant in Brantham
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Typical jobs include gaps opening along the back of the worktop and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
In a village or hamlet like Brantham, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brantham as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Brantham homes and their sealant
Brantham is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Manningtree station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Brooklands Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Brantham is in Essex. Brantham gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Essex coverage runs to 644 places, Brantham among them. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Brantham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Surface by surface
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.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.

Common problems we fix in Brantham
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
Look out for any of the following:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
