Quotes for remedial sealant in St Lawrence

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Any mould that needs treating

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What to tell us for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • The rough size of the job
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • Whether it has been sealed before

There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface

Leaking trays & enclosures

When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.

Over-sealed & botched joints

Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.

Do you need remedial sealant in St Lawrence?

Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
  • Movement joints that have split or pulled away
  • Black mould underneath the bead
  • Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface

Schools such as Ellington Infant School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to choose a mastic man

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
  • Don’t add new sealant on top of old
  • Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
  • Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak

If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.

Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

What remedial sealant looks like in St Lawrence

St Lawrence is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For landlords with property near Ramsgate station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Church of St Laurence, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

The process

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like St Lawrence, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
  2. Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
  3. We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
  5. We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
