What else we do in Wethersfield
Do you need remedial sealant in Wethersfield?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Black mould underneath the bead
In and around Wethersfield, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

Wethersfield 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 United Reformed Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Never seal over old silicone
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
The cost depends on how much there is to do, 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, so you know where you stand.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. 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. In a small place like Wethersfield, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
