About our remedial sealant in Speed Gate
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Being in a small place like Speed Gate makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Speed Gate 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Speed Gate: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Speed Gate?
Yes, Speed Gate is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Longfield station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
