Marchwood Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Marchwood? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Why it’s worth doing now in Marchwood
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 will hear it from us. Around Marchwood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
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.
Why book with us
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Remedial sealant in Marchwood
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help, on shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints alike.
In a smaller place like Marchwood, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Deal with small splits early
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. A visit to Marchwood 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.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Remedial sealant in Marchwood: local notes
Marchwood is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St John the Apostle, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Millbrook (Hants) station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Marchwood Junior School are buildings too, and 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.
