What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Remedial sealant in Skeete
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about over-sealed joints coming away and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Being in a small place like Skeete 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Skeete, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why act early in Skeete
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Skeete, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Don’t point over movement joints
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.

Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
