About our remedial sealant in Long Hanborough
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
Homes around Long Hanborough range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Long Hanborough
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Long Hanborough
Do you cover Long Hanborough for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Long Hanborough is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Combe station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we will not pretend it will.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in.

Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
