Remedial sealant & repairs in Fair Oak, Hampshire
Failed sealant joints in Fair Oak need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Fair Oak, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Fair Oak
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Around Fair Oak, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Fair Oak
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you look after a building such as Fair Oak Junior School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Why it’s worth doing now in Fair Oak
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Homes in smaller places like Fair Oak can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Fair Oak homes and their sealant
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.
Homes close to Saint Thomas include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Hedge End station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We do not 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
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Fair Oak
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
