About our remedial sealant in Calcott
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Typical jobs include repeat leaks from the same joint and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
For a small place like Calcott, 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common problems we fix in Calcott
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For landlords with property near Sturry station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Calcott, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Calcott, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit

Remedial sealant around Calcott
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
