- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop

- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Tye, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Remedial sealant in Tye
In Tye, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
For a small place like Tye, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What remedial sealant looks like in Tye
Tye is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Mill Rythe Junior School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Emsworth station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Tye
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Emsworth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Tye for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tye is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.

Do you need remedial sealant in Tye?
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
