Remedial sealant in Gubbion's Green
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We are often asked to deal with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
For a small place like Gubbion's Green, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Yes, Gubbion's Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.

My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Gubbion's Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Great Leighs 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. Rented homes near Cressing station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gubbion's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can

- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
