Your questions about remedial sealant in Hayes
I let a flat near Hayes (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is parking a problem for a job in Hayes?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Hayes?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Remedial sealant in Hayes, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you are dealing with black mould underneath the bead and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints alike.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Hayes are no different.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
Do you need remedial sealant in Hayes?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you live in an older home near St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Leave it or put it right?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Hayes, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In Hayes, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we will say so.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hayes
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hawes Down Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Hayes (Kent) station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
