What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
How we handle remedial sealant in Walter's Ash
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 failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are movement joints that have split or pulled away and a second bead peeling off the first.
For a small place like Walter's Ash, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Do you need remedial sealant in Walter's Ash?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you look after a building such as Naphill and Walters Ash School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Run the fan after every shower
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. In a small place like Walter's Ash, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Walter's Ash, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Walter's Ash
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Botolph, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
