- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Beads that never stuck properly
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Remedial sealant in Tickham
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. Typical jobs include smears and lumps from a botched reseal and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
Homes around Tickham are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tickham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Are you fully insured?

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Tickham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
When to call us in Tickham
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Look out for any of the following:
- Torn expansion joints
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?

What remedial sealant looks like in Tickham

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
