Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ifold
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Typical jobs include a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Somewhere as small as Ifold, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Ifold
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Deal with small splits early
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
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.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ifold
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Loxwood Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What else we do in Ifold
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Why act early in Ifold
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ifold can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Ifold needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
