What affects the quote in St Helen's
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Any previous sealing or DIY work

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
About our remedial sealant in St Helen's
In St Helen's, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have products that weren’t meant for the joint and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Homes around St Helen's range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it 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. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a smaller place like St Helen's, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What we’re called out for in St Helen's
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Letting a property close to Ore station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Other services in St Helen's
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
St Helen's: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ore station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around St Helen's?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.

What remedial sealant looks like in St Helen's
St Helen's is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Ark Blacklands Primary Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St Peter & St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
