Empshott Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Empshott on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Empshott, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Remedial sealant in Empshott
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help.
Being in a small place like Empshott makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a small place like Empshott, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Empshott
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Black mould underneath the bead
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Letting a property close to Liss station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Common questions in Empshott
I let a flat near Liss station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Empshott for remedial sealant?
Yes, Empshott is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
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.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
Then we explain what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
