How we handle remedial sealant in Sprat's Down
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Homes around Sprat's Down are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Deal with small splits early
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: 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.
Do you need remedial sealant in Sprat's Down?
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Torn expansion joints
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
If you look after a building such as Fawley Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Sprat's Down homes and their sealant
Sprat's Down is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Sprat's Down has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Homes close to St George include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Hamble station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sprat's Down
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
