Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
About our remedial sealant in Rowhedge
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. We are often asked to deal with black mould underneath the bead and beads that never stuck properly, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
Homes around Rowhedge range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Common problems we fix in Rowhedge
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Letting a property close to Wivenhoe station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Landlord and commercial work in Rowhedge
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rowhedge
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a smaller place like Rowhedge, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour picked to suit the job
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Tidy, careful work

Remedial sealant around Rowhedge
Rowhedge is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Lawrence, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking around Rowhedge is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
