How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. 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. Somewhere like Plaish needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Remedial sealant in Plaish, done properly
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you have leaks that keep coming back after resealing and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Plaish, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Plaish
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Schools such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Plaish homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Plaish. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Homes close to Church of St. Nicholas in Castro include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Plaish
Do you cover smaller places like Plaish?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Plaish for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Plaish is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. 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.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
