Remedial Sealant in Goring
We cover Goring for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Goring
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you are dealing with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and torn expansion joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Even in a smaller place like Goring, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to Goring is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Goring homes and their sealant
Goring has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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 Goring & Streatley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What does remedial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common problems we fix in Goring
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Torn expansion joints
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Schools such as Goring Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
