About our remedial sealant in Tendring Heath
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
In a village or hamlet like Tendring Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Tendring Heath, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Where do you work from?

Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints

What remedial sealant looks like in Tendring Heath
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.
If you let a flat or house near Weeley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What we are called out for in Tendring Heath
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
