Remedial sealant in Selsted
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 defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Common call-outs are for a second bead peeling off the first and beads that never stuck properly, across expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Selsted, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
If we have 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. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Selsted: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Selsted?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Selsted is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Selsted can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied.

- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
