Remedial sealant in Norcot
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
In and around Norcot, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

When to call us in Norcot
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Look out for these signs:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Managing a site like Meadow Park Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Remedial sealant around Norcot
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Tilehurst Methodist Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Tilehurst station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Parking around Norcot is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Norcot
Do you cover Norcot for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Norcot is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Tilehurst station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Norcot?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
