How we handle remedial sealant in Ibstone
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. Typical jobs include caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and beads that never stuck properly, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Around Ibstone, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Remedial sealant around Ibstone
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Ibstone CofE Primary School are buildings too, and 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Ibstone is about 7 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Ibstone gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Ibstone, 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Questions from Ibstone
I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Ibstone in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Ibstone is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.

The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Over-sealed joints coming away

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
