How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Shurlock Row needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Remedial sealant in Shurlock Row, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints alike.
Homes around Shurlock Row are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why act early in Shurlock Row
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. In a small place like Shurlock Row, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Shurlock Row questions
Do you cover Shurlock Row for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shurlock Row is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Shurlock Row?
Yes. Shurlock Row is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Shurlock Row
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
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, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Shurlock Row
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.

What we are called out for in Shurlock Row
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Schools such as Waltham St Lawrence Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
