Remedial sealant in Wimbish Green
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you are dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Wimbish Green, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
What remedial sealant looks like in Wimbish Green
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Paul's Mission Room include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Wimbish Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wimbish Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Questions from Wimbish Green
Do you cover smaller places like Wimbish Green?
Yes. Wimbish Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do remedial sealant in Wimbish Green?
Yes, Wimbish Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
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.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
What we are called out for in Wimbish Green
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Torn expansion joints
Rented homes near Newport (Essex) station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
