Remedial sealant in Bunce Common, done properly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on failed movement joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
For a small place like Bunce Common, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Bunce Common needs a little journey planning: 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.
- 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.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

How we quote for remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
When to call us in Bunce Common
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Bunce Common: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Bunce Common?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bunce Common is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Bunce Common?
Yes. Bunce Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Bunce Common
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Around Bunce Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
