Remedial sealant in Gubblecote
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Gubblecote makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Gubblecote
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
Managing a site like Long Marston VA Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What remedial sealant looks like in Gubblecote
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St Cross include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Cheddington station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Gubblecote, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Gubblecote questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cheddington station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do remedial sealant in Gubblecote?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Gubblecote is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes, usually. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.

Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
