How we handle remedial sealant in East Stourmouth
Remedial jobs in East Stourmouth usually fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are movement joints that have split or pulled away and over-sealed joints coming away.
Homes around East Stourmouth are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why deal with it now?
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 East Stourmouth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Bathrooms and kitchens in East Stourmouth
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.
If you let a flat or house near Minster station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Signs you need remedial sealant in East Stourmouth
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In the older streets around All Saints Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like East Stourmouth, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
