How we handle remedial sealant in Milton 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. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help.
For a small place like Milton 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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Milton Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Milton Hill
Do you take on hotel work around Milton Hill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover smaller places like Milton Hill?
Yes, Milton Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

How much does remedial sealant cost in Milton Hill?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Signs you need remedial sealant in Milton Hill
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Blaise, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
