Remedial sealant in Viables
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We are often asked to deal with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Smaller places like Viables still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need remedial sealant in Viables?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Torn expansion joints
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
Remedial sealant in Viables: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Viables is about 1 mile south-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Viables gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Viables is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. You can also see our page for Reading, roughly 15 miles from Viables.

Around Viables

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to Viables is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Why act early in Viables
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Homes in smaller places like Viables can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We will tell you what we find.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
