When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Shere
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, across expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Homes around Shere are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What remedial sealant looks like in Shere
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 look after a building such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Gomshall station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Shere, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Should I try it myself first?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Landlord and commercial work in Shere
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Common questions in Shere
I let a flat near Gomshall station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Shere?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Common problems we fix in Shere
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Homes close to The Church of St James include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before you book anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shere, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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’ll go through it with you.
