Remedial sealant in Buckland
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and torn expansion joints.
Around Buckland, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Buckland, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Buckland can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Remedial sealant around Buckland
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Reigate College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need remedial sealant in Buckland?
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For landlords with property near Betchworth station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
