Remedial sealant in Dial Post, done properly
Remedial jobs in Dial Post usually fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you are dealing with a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Dial Post, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Dial Post
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dial Post, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Dial Post
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Whether the job is in Dial Post itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Dial Post questions
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Dial Post?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do remedial sealant in Dial Post?
Yes, Dial Post is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Dial Post, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

When to call us in Dial Post
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Around Dial Post, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
