What we’re called out for in Earley
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Schools such as Radstock Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Remedial sealant in Earley, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Common call-outs are for floor or wall movement joints that have failed and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Most bathrooms in a town like Earley are in family homes, used every day, which is hard on sealant and grout. The usual signs are mould in the bead, gaps by the sink and grout that is cracked or stained.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Earley
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Earley, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

What remedial sealant looks like in Earley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Earley station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Trinity Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In Earley, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
How to get a quote

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
