DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like East Challow needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- 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
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
What we’re called out for in East Challow
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
If you look after a building such as St Nicholas CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

East Challow homes and their sealant
East Challow has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
