Remedial sealant in Fiddlers Hamlet
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
For a small place like Fiddlers Hamlet, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Fiddlers Hamlet and across Essex.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Fiddlers Hamlet, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Managing a site like Ivy Chimneys Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint, then reseal neatly.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Fiddlers Hamlet
Do you cover smaller places like Fiddlers Hamlet?
Yes, Fiddlers Hamlet is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work in hotels near Fiddlers Hamlet?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Why act early in Fiddlers Hamlet
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Fiddlers Hamlet, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
