About our remedial sealant in High Ongar
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about gaps opening along the back of the worktop and dark patches showing through the sealant.
For a small place like High Ongar, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need remedial sealant in High Ongar
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, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as High Ongar Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is VAT in the price?

- What insurance they hold

Bathrooms and kitchens in High Ongar
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

High Ongar: your questions answered
Will you come out to High Ongar?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is High Ongar in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and High Ongar is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does remedial sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as High Ongar, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Why it’s worth doing now in High Ongar
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Around High Ongar, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
