Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
About our remedial sealant in Farley Hill
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and black mould underneath the bead, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In a village or hamlet like Farley Hill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common problems we fix in Farley Hill
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you live in an older home near St Eligius, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Farley Hill
Can you do remedial sealant in Farley Hill?
Yes, Farley Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wokingham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Farley Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Remedial sealant around Farley Hill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Farley Hill Primary 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Farley Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
