Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in Camulodunum and across Essex. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
How we handle remedial sealant in Camulodunum
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. Typical jobs include over-sealed joints coming away and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
Around Camulodunum, it’s mostly busy family bathrooms and kitchens, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. Black mould along the bath, a lifting bead by the sink or crumbling grout in the shower are the usual signs.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Camulodunum and across Essex.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In Camulodunum, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Common questions in Camulodunum
Do you cover Camulodunum for remedial sealant?
Yes, Camulodunum is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Colchester Town station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Camulodunum?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What we are called out for in Camulodunum
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Philip Morant School and College, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
