How we handle remedial sealant in Ludgershall
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you’re dealing with repeat leaks from the same joint and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can help.
Homes around Ludgershall are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
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.

How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Signs you need remedial sealant in Ludgershall
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ludgershall
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Ludgershall, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
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 any new sealant goes on.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Ludgershall needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Your questions about remedial sealant in Ludgershall
Do you cover Ludgershall for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ludgershall is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Ludgershall?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
Then we explain what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
