Stonegate homes and their sealant
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.
Managing a site like Stonegate Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Stonegate station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Stonegate, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Stonegate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
