Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Colwood
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a second bead peeling off the first and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Somewhere as small as Colwood, 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 anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Colwood 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.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Signs you need remedial sealant in Colwood
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
For jobs in and around Colwood, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
