Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Remedial sealant in Earlstone Common, done properly
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and beads that never stuck properly, we can help.
For a small place like Earlstone Common, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom is not generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Around Earlstone Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Earlstone Common
Can you do remedial sealant in Earlstone Common?

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you need remedial sealant in Earlstone Common?
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The most common problems we see are:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
In the older streets around Church of the Ascension, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include

- Is the old sealant removed completely?

What remedial sealant looks like in Earlstone Common
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.
If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Clere School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we will say so.
