Remedial sealant in Sholing, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us, along with when it was last resealed. If you have movement joints that have split or pulled away and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help.
In a smaller place like Sholing, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.

What else we do in Sholing
Remedial sealant around Sholing
Sholing is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as St Monica 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. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Sholing station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Quotes for remedial sealant in Sholing

What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Sholing, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Landlord and commercial work in Sholing
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
