About our remedial sealant in Hornton
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Typical jobs include worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and black mould underneath the bead, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Being in a small place like Hornton makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hornton as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, then reseal neatly.
Hornton: your questions answered
Is remedial sealant in Hornton guaranteed?
All our work, in Hornton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Hornton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
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.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
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. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Related advice
Remedial sealant in Hornton: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Hornton Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a small place like Hornton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
