- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

Remedial sealant in Tye Green, done properly
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and black mould underneath the bead.
In a village or hamlet like Tye Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need remedial sealant in Tye Green?
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Mission Room, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tye Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Tye Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Run the fan after every shower
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
