How we handle remedial sealant in West Tisted
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you are dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like West Tisted makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Remedial sealant in West Tisted: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like West Tisted, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
West Tisted questions
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in West Tisted?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to West Tisted?
Yes, West Tisted is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never seal over old silicone
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
When to call us in West Tisted
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Around West Tisted, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
