About our remedial sealant in Monkton
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are repeat leaks from the same joint and over-sealed joints coming away.
Being in a small place like Monkton makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Deal with small splits early
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Common questions in Monkton
Do you cover smaller places like Monkton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Monkton in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Monkton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Monkton?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
What else we do in Monkton
Remedial sealant around Monkton
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.
Schools such as Monkton Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Minster station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Monkton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why act early in Monkton
Ripping out a bathroom is not generally 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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Monkton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
