Quotes for remedial sealant in Mortimer
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Remedial sealant in Mortimer, done properly
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. If you’re dealing with a second bead peeling off the first and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right.
Even in a smaller place like Mortimer, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Remedial sealant around Mortimer
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Mortimer station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Mortimer Methodist Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Questions from Mortimer
Is Mortimer in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Mortimer is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Mortimer station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can I do 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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
What happens if it’s left?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Homes in smaller places like Mortimer can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- A choice of colours where the product allows
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like Mortimer, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Mortimer
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Look out for these signs:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Torn expansion joints
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Schools such as Mortimer St John's C.E. Infant School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
