Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
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. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Remedial sealant around Brightwell-cum-Sotwell
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Cholsey station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell Church of England 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. Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
