About our remedial sealant in Shanklin
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. Typical jobs include black mould underneath the bead and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
Homes around Shanklin range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Shanklin and everywhere else we cover.

- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Shanklin, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What else we do in Shanklin
What remedial sealant looks like in Shanklin
Shanklin is within about 1 mile of 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to St. Paul's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not point over movement joints
- Deal with small splits early
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Why act early in Shanklin
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Shanklin, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Shanklin: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Shanklin?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shanklin
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
