Remedial sealant in Little Somborne, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Around Little Somborne, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Little Somborne
Will you come out to Little Somborne?
Yes, Little Somborne is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do remedial sealant in Little Somborne?
Yes, Little Somborne 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, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a small place like Little Somborne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for remedial sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Little Somborne, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Do you need remedial sealant in Little Somborne?
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
In and around Little Somborne, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- The length of the guarantee

Bathrooms and kitchens in Little Somborne
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
