Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: 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.
How we handle remedial sealant in Horsted Keynes
Remedial jobs in Horsted Keynes usually fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
For a small place like Horsted Keynes, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Do you need remedial sealant in Horsted Keynes?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Rented homes near Haywards Heath station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Horsted Keynes, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What remedial sealant looks like in Horsted Keynes
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.
Homes close to St Giles' Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as St Giles CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

FAQs for Horsted Keynes
Will you come out to Horsted Keynes?
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 Horsted Keynes in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Horsted Keynes is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
