How we handle remedial sealant in Wellow
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould underneath the bead and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
In a village or hamlet like Wellow, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What affects the quote in Wellow
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
Common problems we fix in Wellow
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Schools such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Remedial sealant in Wellow: local notes
Wellow is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Wellow Baptist Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Around Wellow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Wellow, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Wellow
Can you do remedial sealant in Wellow?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wellow is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is remedial sealant in Wellow guaranteed?
All our work, in Wellow and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
