About our remedial sealant in Shalmsford Street
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. We are often asked to deal with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and movement joints that have split or pulled away, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
Around Shalmsford Street, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.

- How we’d reach the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Shalmsford Street
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In a smaller place like Shalmsford Street, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.

What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Shalmsford Street
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Chartham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Parking around Shalmsford Street is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.

- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
