How we handle remedial sealant in Butt's Green
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
For a small place like Butt's Green, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How we quote for remedial sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the job

- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Deal with small splits early
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Butt's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- We leave the area clean and tidy

- We never seal over old sealant
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. In a small place like Butt's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
