Remedial sealant in Test Valley, done properly
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. We’re often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
Being in a small place like Test Valley makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Test Valley and everywhere else we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Test Valley
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
When to call us in Test Valley
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In a small place like Test Valley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Test Valley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
