Remedial sealant in Lambourne
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
Homes around Lambourne are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Lambourne needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Questions from Lambourne
Do you cover smaller places like Lambourne?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Lambourne for remedial sealant?
Yes, Lambourne is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Remedial sealant in Lambourne: 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lambourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
When to call us in Lambourne
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary and All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
