About our remedial sealant in Eastwood
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you are dealing with beads that never stuck properly and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right.
Homes around Eastwood are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Eastwood questions
Is Eastwood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do remedial sealant in Eastwood?
Yes, Eastwood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
How long does remedial resealing take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
Common problems we fix in Eastwood
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Schools such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we will say so.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. In a small place like Eastwood, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
