How we handle remedial sealant in Hartley Wespall
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We’re often asked to deal with thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Somewhere as small as Hartley Wespall, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Hartley Wespall, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Hartley Wespall homes and their sealant
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sherfield School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long does the work take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
