The Holt Remedial Sealant
Failed sealant joints in The Holt need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

About our remedial sealant in The Holt
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about mould trapped under a layer of silicone and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
Around The Holt, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in The Holt and across Wokingham.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as The Holt, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

Why it’s worth doing now in The Holt
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a small place like The Holt, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

For landlords and businesses
