About our remedial sealant in Palm Bay
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 before the joint can be done properly. We are often asked to deal with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Somewhere as small as Palm Bay, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Palm Bay as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
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.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Palm Bay, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Why it’s worth doing now in Palm Bay
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Palm Bay can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we’re called out for in Palm Bay
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Torn expansion joints
In the older streets around St Philip, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.

What remedial sealant looks like in Palm Bay
Palm Bay is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Palm Bay has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Palm Bay Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Margate station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Palm Bay
Do you work in hotels near Palm Bay?
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.
Will you come out to Palm Bay?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
Then we explain what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
