Remedial sealant & repairs in Hinchley Wood, Surrey
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Hinchley Wood? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Beads that never stuck properly
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How we handle remedial sealant in Hinchley Wood
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Homes around Hinchley Wood range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Hinchley Wood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking around Hinchley Wood is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
When it is not the sealant
