How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Tylerscross, 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.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Remedial sealant in Tylerscross, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have leaks that keep coming back after resealing and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Tylerscross, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

Questions from Tylerscross
Do you cover Tylerscross for remedial sealant?
Yes, Tylerscross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Roydon station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that is already there.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Why act early in Tylerscross
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Tylerscross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Tylerscross
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.

What else we do in Tylerscross
Remedial sealant in Tylerscross: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Water Lane Primary Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we are called out for in Tylerscross
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Letting a property close to Roydon station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
