How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Remedial sealant in Knatts Valley: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as West Kingsdown CofE VC Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Knatts Valley
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Letting a property close to Kemsing station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
