About our remedial sealant in Shortheath
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you’re dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Shortheath makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Shortheath questions
Do you cover smaller places like Shortheath?
Yes, Shortheath is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Farnham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

What else we do in Shortheath
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Shortheath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Remedial sealant around Shortheath
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Shortheath has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's 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. Letting a property close to Farnham station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to St Peter's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
If you manage several properties in or around Shortheath, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work 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 Shortheath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
