About our remedial sealant in West Stourmouth
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Homes around West Stourmouth are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Stourmouth
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally needed. 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 West Stourmouth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as West Stourmouth, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Common questions in West Stourmouth
I let a flat near Minster station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like West Stourmouth?
Yes. West Stourmouth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Do not point over movement joints
- Keep the room well ventilated
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Signs you need remedial sealant in West Stourmouth
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
For landlords with property near Minster station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
