Remedial sealant in Shawford, done properly
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. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you’re dealing with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Shawford, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Questions from Shawford
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Shawford for remedial sealant?
Yes, Shawford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
What affects the quote in Shawford
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Around Shawford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shawford
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 Shawford station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Schools such as Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Shawford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
