Remedial sealant in Burmarsh, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Burmarsh makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

What else we do in Burmarsh
How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Burmarsh
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Burmarsh
Is Burmarsh in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Burmarsh is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Burmarsh?
Yes. Burmarsh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. Somewhere like Burmarsh needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Remedial sealant around Burmarsh
Burmarsh is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 landlords with property near Westenhanger station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
