Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
How we handle remedial sealant in Pottersheath
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have gaps opening along the back of the worktop and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Pottersheath, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Pottersheath, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Never seal over old silicone
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Common questions in Pottersheath
Can you do remedial sealant in Pottersheath?
Yes, Pottersheath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Knebworth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can I add another job to the visit?

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Pottersheath
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Oaklands Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Do you need remedial sealant in Pottersheath?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Letting a property close to Knebworth station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
