About our remedial sealant in Hardwick
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and torn expansion joints.
Around Hardwick, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

FAQs for Hardwick
Will you come out to Hardwick?
Yes. Hardwick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, generally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hardwick
Most of the South East has hard water, 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 Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Old School Room Chapel? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Hardwick, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints

- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
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.
