Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Kimpton
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Somewhere as small as Kimpton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

Remedial sealant in Kimpton: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Harpenden station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kimpton Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around Kimpton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Kimpton, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
