About our remedial sealant in Bridge Green
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. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Around Bridge Green, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Remedial sealant around Bridge Green
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Hamlet Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Bridge Green
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
For landlords with property near Audley End station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What else we do in Bridge Green
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Bridge Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bridge Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
