- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

Remedial sealant in Sandon
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are products that weren’t meant for the joint and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Somewhere as small as Sandon, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sandon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. In a small place like Sandon, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
When to call us in Sandon
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

FAQs for Sandon
Do you cover smaller places like Sandon?
Yes. Sandon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Chelmsford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
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.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before we start.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
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. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
