Remedial sealant in Temple Ewell
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’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We’re often asked to deal with black mould underneath the bead and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, across shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
For a small place like Temple Ewell, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Temple Ewell 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Remedial sealant around Temple Ewell
Temple Ewell is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Kearsney station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

How much does remedial sealant cost in Temple Ewell?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Around Temple Ewell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple Ewell
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Run the fan after every shower
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.

- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
