Marks Gate homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Crownfield Infant 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. In the older streets around St Mark's, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Marks Gate
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Do you need remedial sealant in Marks Gate?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Rented homes near Chadwell Heath station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Marks Gate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Questions from Marks Gate
I let a flat near Chadwell Heath station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Marks Gate?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Marks Gate is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work, and we are fully insured.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Marks Gate, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
