How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How we handle remedial sealant in Totton
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. Typical jobs include kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, across failed movement joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In a town like Totton, older streets sit alongside newer estates, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common questions in Totton
Do you work for landlords with property near Totton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Totton?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that is already there.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.

What else we do in Totton
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Totton, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why act early in Totton
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Totton, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Landlord and commercial work in Totton
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Totton
Totton is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Winfred, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Totton station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Abbotswood Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
