About our remedial sealant in Stede Quarter

Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are repeat leaks from the same joint and over-sealed joints coming away.

In a village or hamlet like Stede Quarter, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Stede Quarter needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
  3. The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
  4. Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
  5. You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
  • Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
  • Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
  • Run the fan after every shower

Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.

Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
  • Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we seal

  • Expansion joints
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints
  • Failed movement joints
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Botched or over-sealed joints

Can I do it myself?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

What the job involves on each surface

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.

Movement & expansion joints

Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
