Remedial sealant in Ratley, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a second bead peeling off the first and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Being in a small place like Ratley 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Ratley
Do you cover smaller places like Ratley?
Yes. Ratley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Ratley in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Ratley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Ratley.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Do you need remedial sealant in Ratley?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Ratley
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Why act early in Ratley
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ratley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we do, step by step

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
