Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Remedial sealant in Marden's Hill
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
For a small place like Marden's Hill, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Marden's Hill
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In a small place like Marden's Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Marden's Hill questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Crowborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Marden's Hill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Marden's Hill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Common problems we fix in Marden's Hill
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Letting a property close to Crowborough station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Remedial sealant in Marden's Hill: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up 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 St John's Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to St John's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
