What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
About our remedial sealant in Shipley
In Shipley, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you’re dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help.
Being in a small place like Shipley makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Shipley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

What else we do in Shipley
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Shipley
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 look after a building such as Shipley CofE Primary School, 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. For an older house near a landmark such as The Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Common problems we fix in Shipley
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
If you let a flat or house near Billingshurst station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What happens if it’s left?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Shipley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
