Leaking trays & enclosures

Clavering questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Clavering?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Clavering is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newport (Essex) station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What we are called out for in Clavering
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Torn expansion joints
For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Remedial sealant in Clavering: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clavering Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Mary and St Clement include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Clavering 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Clavering can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
