How we handle remedial sealant in Tidebrook
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are movement joints that have split or pulled away and beads that never stuck properly.
For a small place like Tidebrook, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we’re called out for in Tidebrook
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What affects the quote in Tidebrook
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Tidebrook needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- 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.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
