How we handle remedial sealant in Fareham
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can put it right.
In a town like Fareham, older streets sit alongside newer estates, and bathrooms range from decades-old suites to brand-new ones. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in Fareham
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Schools such as St Jude's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and 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
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Why act early in Fareham
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit in Fareham needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Fareham homes and their sealant
Fareham is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St John The Evangelist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never seal over old silicone
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Deal with small splits early
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
