- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop

How we handle remedial sealant in Chilson
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and torn expansion joints, we can help.
Being in a small place like Chilson makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. 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. Somewhere as small as Chilson, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chilson can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What remedial sealant looks like in Chilson
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Chilson
Do you cover smaller places like Chilson?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
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’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
