Remedial sealant in Wickham Bishops
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about gaps opening along the back of the worktop and beads that never stuck properly.
For a small place like Wickham Bishops, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Wickham Bishops
Signs you need remedial sealant in Wickham Bishops
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wickham Bishops can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Deal with small splits early
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
