How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Poynings 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.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Remedial sealant in Poynings
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are black mould underneath the bead and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Being in a small place like Poynings makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Poynings

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Poynings, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.

Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
