Remedial sealant in The Sands, done properly
In The Sands, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
For a small place like The Sands, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Common questions in The Sands
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Farnham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is The Sands within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.

What else we do in The Sands
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work in The Sands

- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints

- Shrunken worktop sealant

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like The Sands needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Related advice
What we are called out for in The Sands
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
In the older streets around The Church of the Good Shepherd, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How hidden problems are handled
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Quotes for remedial sealant in The Sands
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
What remedial sealant looks like in The Sands
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Farnham School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Farnham station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
