About our remedial sealant in Puckaster
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about gaps opening along the back of the worktop and beads that never stuck properly.
Being in a small place like Puckaster 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Puckaster: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Puckaster?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Puckaster is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Puckaster?
Yes, Puckaster is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Remedial sealant around Puckaster
Puckaster is within about 1 mile of 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. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Niton Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Puckaster, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Do you need remedial sealant in Puckaster?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
If you live in an older home near Church of St. John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
