What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Tinkers Cross, 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 work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Remedial sealant in Tinkers Cross, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Common call-outs are for wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
For a small place like Tinkers Cross, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Landlord and commercial work in Tinkers Cross
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Tinkers Cross can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
What we are called out for in Tinkers Cross
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In and around Tinkers Cross, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Tinkers Cross
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Tinkers Cross?
All our work, in Tinkers Cross and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Tinkers Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
You’ll hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Why act early in Tinkers Cross
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Tinkers Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Remedial sealant around Tinkers Cross
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

How the job changes by surface
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.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
