Remedial sealant & repairs in Soake, Hampshire
Our applicators work in Soake on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

- A second bead peeling off the first
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Remedial sealant in Soake
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
For a small place like Soake, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Never seal over old silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep the room well ventilated
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
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.
Soake questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Soake?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Soake is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Soake?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Soake?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
What affects the quote in Soake
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Remedial sealant around Soake
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Bedhampton station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Managing a site like Denmead Junior School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.

Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Soake, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
