Itchen Remedial Sealant
Professional remedial sealant in and around Itchen, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Over-sealed joints coming away
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Remedial sealant in Itchen, done properly
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and repeat leaks from the same joint.
In a smaller place like Itchen, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Itchen as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Itchen
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
If you live in an older home near Jesus Chapel - St Mary Extra, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why deal with it now?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a smaller place like Itchen, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Questions from Itchen
Is Itchen within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Woolston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. A visit to Itchen is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- 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 access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Run the fan after every shower
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
