Quotes for remedial sealant in Michelmersh
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Michelmersh
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
In a village or hamlet like Michelmersh, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Signs to act on: 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.

Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
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.
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Michelmersh, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What else we do in Michelmersh
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Michelmersh, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

- You choose the colour before work begins

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
What remedial sealant looks like in Michelmersh
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 landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
