Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Wickham
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Being in a small place like Wickham makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Wickham homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Swithin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Kintbury station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Wickham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
What we’re called out for in Wickham
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
Schools such as Welford and Wickham C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if the job turns out different
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wickham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
