Remedial sealant in Shoeburyness, done properly
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Plenty of homes in a town like Shoeburyness have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In Shoeburyness, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t point over movement joints
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a family home in Shoeburyness, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
When to call us in Shoeburyness
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Schools such as St George's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

Shoeburyness homes and their sealant
Shoeburyness is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Shoeburyness station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Questions from Shoeburyness
Do you work for landlords with property near Shoeburyness station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Shoeburyness?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shoeburyness is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
