- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

Advice
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Heath End
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us, along with when it was last resealed. We are often asked to deal with black mould underneath the bead and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
Being in a small place like Heath End makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Heath End can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

FAQs for Heath End
Is Heath End in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Heath End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Heath End?
All our work, in Heath End and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Heath End?
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 choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Remedial sealant around Heath End
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Common problems we fix in Heath End
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
