How we handle remedial sealant in Ore
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Even in a smaller place like Ore, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

Ore: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ore?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ore station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Remedial sealant around Ore
Ore is close to 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.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Ore station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Sandown Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a smaller place like Ore, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. 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.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Homes in smaller places like Ore 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
