Remedial Sealant in Hempton
Remedial sealant across Hempton and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Remedial sealant in Hempton, done properly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
In a village or hamlet like Hempton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
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.

What remedial sealant looks like in Hempton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Hempton has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Rented homes near Kings Sutton station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Saint John the Evangelist include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hempton
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Hempton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Hempton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Deal with small splits early
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

Can failed expansion joints be resealed?

We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
