Remedial sealant in Longwick, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. We’re often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
In and around Longwick, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Around Longwick, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Longwick questions
Is Longwick in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Longwick is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Longwick?
Yes. Longwick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
What remedial sealant looks like in Longwick
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Monks Risborough station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Owlswick Chapel, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to Longwick is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
Advice
When to call us in Longwick
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Longwick Church of England Combined School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
