We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.

What remedial sealant looks like in Derringstone
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Derringstone has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Schools such as Barham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
What affects the quote in Derringstone
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

FAQs for Derringstone
I let a flat near Snowdown station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Derringstone?
Yes, Derringstone is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
Then we explain what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Derringstone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
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 ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Derringstone
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Derringstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
