Remedial sealant in Pig Street, done properly
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and over-sealed joints coming away.
For a small place like Pig Street, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Pig Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Pig Street homes and their sealant
Pig Street is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
For landlords with property near Thorpe-Le-Soken station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Parish Church of St Michael include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Pig Street
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
What we’re called out for in Pig Street
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Look out for any of the following:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Schools such as Rolph CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
