Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Combe
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are movement joints that have split or pulled away and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
For a small place like Combe, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common questions in Combe
Do you cover Combe for remedial sealant?
Yes, Combe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Combe
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Combe CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What affects the quote in Combe
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
