About our remedial sealant in Duton Hill
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
For a small place like Duton Hill, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Duton Hill: your questions answered
I let a flat near Stansted Airport station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Duton Hill for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Duton Hill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, generally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Remedial sealant around Duton Hill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Stansted Airport station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Putteridge High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or bath that is cracked
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
When to call us in Duton Hill
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
