Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Remedial sealant in Stoke Row, done properly
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you are dealing with repeat leaks from the same joint and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Stoke Row, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a small place like Stoke Row, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We agree the colour with you first
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Signs you need remedial sealant in Stoke Row
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What insurance they hold
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
