Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Gay Bowers
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. Typical jobs include black mould underneath the bead and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Homes around Gay Bowers are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Leave it or put it right?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gay Bowers can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Gay Bowers, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Gay Bowers
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near South Woodham Ferrers station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Priory Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Questions from Gay Bowers
Do you work for landlords with property near South Woodham Ferrers station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Gay Bowers?

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Keep the room well ventilated
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
