Remedial sealant in Temple End
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints alike.
Homes around Temple End are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Around Temple End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
