- Over-sealed joints coming away

- Dark patches showing through the sealant
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Remedial sealant in Plumpton, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and dark patches showing through the sealant.
Being in a small place like Plumpton makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. 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 Plumpton, 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.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What remedial sealant looks like in Plumpton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
