Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Dean
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are movement joints that have split or pulled away and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
In a village or hamlet like Dean, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When to call us in Dean
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bishops Waltham Infant School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Dean, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Dean
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Botley station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Run the fan after every shower
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Why act early in Dean
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a small place like Dean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

Dean questions
Will you come out to Dean?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Dean for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Dean is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
