How we handle remedial sealant in Caterham
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Around Caterham, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Caterham and everywhere else we cover.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in a town like Caterham is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Caterham homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 Hillcroft Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Caterham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Do you need remedial sealant in Caterham?
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
For an older house near a landmark such as Sacred Heart Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
