Remedial sealant & repairs in Egham Hythe, Surrey

- Over-sealed joints coming away
Remedial sealant in Egham Hythe
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
Even in a smaller place like Egham Hythe, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a smaller place like Egham Hythe, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Egham Hythe is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Egham Hythe
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Egham Hythe
Do you take on hotel work around Egham Hythe?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
Do you cover Egham Hythe?
Yes, we do. Egham Hythe is part of the area we cover.
