Remedial sealant in Reigate
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Reigate mixes older houses with estates built more recently, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
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.
Do you need remedial sealant in Reigate?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Homes close to Church of St Mary Magdalene include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In Reigate, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Reigate
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Reigate they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We never seal over old sealant

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures

Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
What affects the quote in Reigate
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
