What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Burnt Heath, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Remedial sealant in Burnt Heath
In Burnt Heath, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you are dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Burnt Heath, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Burnt Heath as everywhere else we work.

Burnt Heath homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Manningtree station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What else we do in Burnt Heath
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Run the fan after every shower
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Surface 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.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Burnt Heath
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Burnt Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
