Hatherden Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Hatherden on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
How we handle remedial sealant in Hatherden
Remedial jobs in Hatherden usually fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Homes around Hatherden are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t point over movement joints
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.
Remedial sealant around Hatherden
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Hatherden Church of England 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. Letting a property close to Andover station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What we’re called out for in Hatherden
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
If you live in an older home near Christchurch, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

- How long to leave it before use
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Hatherden, access is generally 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What else we do in Hatherden
Why act early in Hatherden
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Hatherden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
