How we handle remedial sealant in Punnett's Town
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a second bead peeling off the first and dark patches showing through the sealant.
Being in a small place like Punnett's Town makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
When to call us in Punnett's Town
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Black mould underneath the bead
Managing a site like Punnetts Town Community Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
