Remedial sealant in Norton
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and over-sealed joints coming away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Norton, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What remedial sealant looks like in Norton
Norton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Lymington Pier station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near St. James' Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Norton is about 4 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight.

Why it’s worth doing now in Norton
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Norton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

What else we do in Norton
What we are called out for in Norton
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Torn expansion joints
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you look after a building such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common questions in Norton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lymington Pier station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Norton?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
For anyone letting property in or around Norton, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Norton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
