About our remedial sealant in Sandling
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not 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 expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and a second bead peeling off the first.
For a small place like Sandling, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Every job is quoted individually. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it 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 small place like Sandling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Sandling needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Sandling
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
When to call us in Sandling
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Rented homes near Sandling station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Sandling: your questions answered
Is Sandling within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?

How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Sandling?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Sandling homes and their sealant
Sandling is close to 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. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
