About our remedial sealant in Sheering
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you’re dealing with sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and torn expansion joints, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Sheering makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Sheering, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

What else we do in Sheering
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Sheering
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Rented homes near Sawbridgeworth station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Sheering homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, 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 Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Hatfield Heath Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
