Watton at Stone Remedial Sealant
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in Watton at Stone and across Hertfordshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep the room well ventilated
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

Do you need remedial sealant in Watton at Stone?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
If you look after a building such as Watton-at-Stone Primary and Nursery School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Watton at Stone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What we do, step by step
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.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
