What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lower Burgate
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Burgate, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Lower Burgate and across Hampshire.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Lower Burgate homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common problems we fix in Lower Burgate
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Black mould underneath the bead
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether VAT is included
- How long to leave it before use
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Around Lower Burgate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Lower Burgate, 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.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
