Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Remedial sealant in Row Green
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We’re often asked to deal with over-sealed joints coming away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Row Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What remedial sealant looks like in Row Green
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Braintree station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like White Court 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.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Row Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Why act early in Row Green
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Row Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- We agree the colour with you first

Common questions in Row Green
Do you cover Row Green for remedial sealant?
Yes, Row Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Braintree station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. Somewhere like Row Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
When to call us in Row Green
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
In the older streets around The Church in Great Notley, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
