DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Rudmore
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about black mould underneath the bead and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Even in a smaller place like Rudmore, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Common questions in Rudmore
Do you work in hotels near Rudmore?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Rudmore?
Yes. Rudmore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
Then we explain what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Rudmore and the rest of Portsmouth.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall

What remedial sealant looks like in Rudmore
Rudmore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Rudmore. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Portsmouth & Southsea station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you look after a building such as The Flying Bull Academy, 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.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a smaller place like Rudmore, 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.
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on how much there is to do. Parking around Rudmore is normally 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
