Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right in Red Rice, with a one-year guarantee on every job. Call for a quick quote.
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep the room well ventilated
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Remedial sealant in Red Rice
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you have a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints alike.
Being in a small place like Red Rice makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Red Rice, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We agree the colour with you first
- We leave the area clean and tidy
Remedial sealant in Red Rice: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Redrice School are buildings too, and 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. In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Common problems we fix in Red Rice
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Torn expansion joints
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Letting a property close to Andover station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Red Rice, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
