What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around High Roding can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Remedial sealant in High Roding, done properly
In High Roding, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Somewhere as small as High Roding, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
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.

- The number of rooms or windows
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like High Roding, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
When to call us in High Roding
Joint depth matters. 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 rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- How the colour is chosen
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
