- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
How we handle remedial sealant in Locksgreen
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Locksgreen, 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.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Locksgreen, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Locksgreen
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Locksgreen
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Locksgreen, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- You choose the colour before work begins

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
What remedial sealant looks like in Locksgreen
Locksgreen is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In and around Locksgreen, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Locksgreen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
