About our remedial sealant in Bricket Wood
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Common call-outs are for beads that never stuck properly and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
Homes around Bricket Wood range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In an older home around Bricket Wood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

FAQs for Bricket Wood

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Is it worth trying it myself?

Do the sealants smell?

What else we do in Bricket Wood
Common problems we fix in Bricket Wood
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Torn expansion joints
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Bricket Wood is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
