Common questions in Colbury
Is Colbury in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Colbury is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Colbury?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- 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
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Colbury 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.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
Remedial sealant around Colbury
Colbury is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 an older house near a landmark such as Colbury Christ Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
