Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and black mould underneath the bead, across shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
For a small place like Godstone, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in Godstone can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Godstone questions
Do you work in hotels near Godstone?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you work for landlords with property near Godstone station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
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.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Godstone?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Common problems we fix in Godstone
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Godstone, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Remedial sealant in Godstone: local notes
Godstone has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Godstone station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Managing a site like Godstone Village School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
