Remedial sealant in Martyr Worthy
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Homes around Martyr Worthy are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
FAQs for Martyr Worthy
I let a flat near Winchester station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Martyr Worthy?
Yes, Martyr Worthy is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Martyr Worthy and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Martyr Worthy, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Why act early in Martyr Worthy
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Martyr Worthy, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Remedial sealant around Martyr Worthy
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.
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as Itchen Abbas Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need remedial sealant in Martyr Worthy?
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
In the older streets around Church of St Swithin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
