Remedial sealant in Rhodes Minnis
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you are dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Rhodes Minnis, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Rhodes Minnis as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
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. Each one is worth getting looked at.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rhodes Minnis, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Rhodes Minnis
Do you cover Rhodes Minnis for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rhodes Minnis is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandling station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- The amount of work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work.

- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
