- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.

Advice
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Sandford
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. We work on failed movement joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are over-sealed joints coming away and torn expansion joints.
Around Sandford, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we’re called out for in Sandford
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Sandford
Will you come out to Sandford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.

Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What remedial sealant looks like in Sandford
Sandford is within about 3 miles 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. 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.
For landlords with property near Shanklin station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Managing a site like Godshill Primary 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, then reseal neatly.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
