Remedial sealant in Wellhouse
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Wellhouse makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Wellhouse as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Wellhouse
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
If you look after a building such as Hermitage Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Questions from Wellhouse
Do you work for landlords with property near Thatcham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do remedial sealant in Wellhouse?
Yes, Wellhouse 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 let us know what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Wellhouse?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Wellhouse homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Thatcham station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Wellhouse, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Wellhouse, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Landlord and commercial work in Wellhouse
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
