Remedial sealant & repairs in Gallows Green, Essex
We cover Gallows Green for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
How we handle remedial sealant in Gallows Green
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have movement joints that have split or pulled away and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Gallows Green makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we’re called out for in Gallows Green
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you look after a building such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Gallows Green and across Essex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Gallows Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
