Remedial sealant in Ibworth, done properly
In Ibworth, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are dark patches showing through the sealant and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
In a village or hamlet like Ibworth, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Ibworth, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Common problems we fix in Ibworth
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
In and around Ibworth, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What does remedial sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
