What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- 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
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Martin homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In and around Martin, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Common problems we fix in Martin
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
The most common problems we see are:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
FAQs for Martin
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Martin?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Martin for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Martin is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Martin, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
