Soberton Heath Remedial Sealant
We cover Soberton Heath for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A second bead peeling off the first
How we handle remedial sealant in Soberton Heath
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
In a village or hamlet like Soberton Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Soberton Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Soberton Heath
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
