Lymington Remedial Sealant
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Lymington. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Remedial sealant in Lymington, done properly
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Around Lymington, it’s mostly busy family bathrooms and kitchens, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. The usual signs are mould in the bead, gaps by the sink and grout that is cracked or stained.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Lymington and across Hampshire.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Questions from Lymington
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Lymington?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you do remedial sealant in Lymington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lymington is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Find out why the sealant failed first
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy home in Lymington they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.

Remedial sealant around Lymington
Lymington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lymington. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Lymington Town station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St. Thomas the Apostle, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Lymington Junior School? Then 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 affects the quote in Lymington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking in a town like Lymington is generally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
