How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
When to call us in Horden
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Look out for these signs:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Managing a site like Colliers Green Church of England Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How the visit works
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 Horden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Horden
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around Horden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Horden homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Marden station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Horden questions
Is Horden in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Horden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Horden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
