About our remedial sealant in St Mary Hoo
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are torn expansion joints and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Being in a small place like St Mary Hoo 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like St Mary Hoo needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Remedial sealant around St Mary Hoo
St Mary Hoo is close to 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. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. In and around St Mary Hoo, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Landlord and commercial work in St Mary Hoo
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a small place like St Mary Hoo, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in St Mary Hoo
Is remedial sealant in St Mary Hoo guaranteed?
All our work, in St Mary Hoo and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is St Mary Hoo within the area you cover?
Yes. St Mary Hoo is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
