Remedial sealant in Old Alresford, 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 have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and dark patches showing through the sealant.
Homes around Old Alresford are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Old Alresford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
What remedial sealant looks like in Old Alresford
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Old Alresford. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.
Managing a site like Perins School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Old Alresford
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
