What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What remedial sealant looks like in Fair Cross
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 live in an older home near Church of St. Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Fair Cross
Is Fair Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Fair Cross for remedial sealant?
Yes, Fair Cross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Fair Cross, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
