Forton homes and their sealant
Forton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Forton. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Portsmouth Harbour station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around St John the Evangelist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How we handle remedial sealant in Forton
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are black mould underneath the bead and over-sealed joints coming away.
In and around Forton, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with small splits early
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Forton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
Advice
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Forton
Do you take on hotel work around Forton?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Forton?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Honest limits

- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
