Remedial sealant & repairs in Nettlecombe, Isle of Wight
Our applicators work in Nettlecombe on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we handle remedial sealant in Nettlecombe
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We’re often asked to deal with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Around Nettlecombe, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Nettlecombe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Nettlecombe
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Remedial sealant in Nettlecombe: local notes
Nettlecombe is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, 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 Shanklin station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever you are in the PO38 postcode area, we can carry out remedial sealant at your property. Nettlecombe is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our Portsmouth page covers work nearby.
Our applicators cover all of PO38 for remedial sealant. We also cover Southford (1 mile north-west), Bierley (1 mile west), Wroxall (2 miles north-east), Godshill (2 miles north) and Sandford (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (9 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (6 miles north-east), Shanklin (4 miles north-east) and East Cowes (11 miles north). Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote.
What’s near Nettlecombe
Typical jobs here are in homes near The White Horse Inn. Nettlecombe’s nearest station is Shanklin station, about 4.1 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Longshoremans Museum (2.2 miles east) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (4.1 miles north-east). The countryside around Nettlecombe includes Stenbury Down.
What we’re called out for in Nettlecombe
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Torn expansion joints
In the older streets around Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Nettlecombe: your questions answered
Is Nettlecombe in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Nettlecombe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Nettlecombe?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Nettlecombe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
