Remedial sealant in Chilworth, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. We are often asked to deal with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Somewhere as small as Chilworth, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Landlord and commercial work in Chilworth
If you manage several properties in or around Chilworth, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
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’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chilworth can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- We agree the colour with you first
- We never seal over old sealant
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Remedial sealant in Chilworth: local notes
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Chilworth. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Chilworth CofE (Aided) Infant School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Thomas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Chilworth station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
What affects the quote in Chilworth
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Chilworth needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Chilworth
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Chilworth?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Chilworth?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
