How we handle remedial sealant in Cross-at-Hand
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and repeat leaks from the same joint.
For a small place like Cross-at-Hand, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Cross-at-Hand needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. In a small place like Cross-at-Hand, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Cross-at-Hand
Can you do remedial sealant in Cross-at-Hand?
Yes, Cross-at-Hand is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Cross-at-Hand?
Yes, Cross-at-Hand is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
