Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lower Bourne
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. We are often asked to deal with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and torn expansion joints, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Even in a smaller place like Lower Bourne, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. A visit to Lower Bourne 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Lower Bourne questions
Do you take on hotel work around Lower Bourne?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Farnham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
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.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
Then we explain what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Common problems we fix in Lower Bourne
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Farnham College, 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.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long to leave it before use
Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a smaller place like Lower Bourne, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We are fully insured

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

If you live in an older home near St Martin by the Green, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
