About our remedial sealant in Drayton
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Around Drayton, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Drayton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cosham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Drayton in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Drayton is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
What else we do in Drayton
Remedial sealant around Drayton
Drayton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Springfield 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. Letting a property close to Cosham station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Drayton Methodist Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Drayton is about 2 miles south of Purbrook, in Portsmouth. Jobs in Drayton get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Portsmouth coverage runs to 19 places, Drayton among them.

Leave it or put it right?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Drayton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Parking around Drayton is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Drayton
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Drayton and across Portsmouth. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
