About our remedial sealant in Chawton
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are movement joints that have split or pulled away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
For a small place like Chawton, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Chawton
Will you come out to Chawton?
Yes. Chawton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Alton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Chawton?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chawton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Remedial sealant in Chawton: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Chawton. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.
For landlords with property near Alton station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Managing a site like Chawton Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have 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. Somewhere like Chawton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
