Exton Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Exton on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
How we handle remedial sealant in Exton
Remedial jobs in Exton normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. Typical jobs include gaps opening along the back of the worktop and over-sealed joints coming away, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Exton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Exton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Exton
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Torn expansion joints
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Bathrooms and kitchens in Exton
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
