How we handle remedial sealant in Winchester
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can help, whatever the surface.
Winchester has offices, shops and other businesses as well as homes, and their washrooms and staff kitchens need the same attention as any home. Homes and businesses get the same careful preparation before anything new goes in.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach

Winchester homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Winchester. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Bede Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In central Winchester, parking can be tight, so tell us about driveways, permits or nearby car parks. For flats, mention stairs, lifts and shared entrances as well.
- 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Winchester?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Letting a property close to Winchester station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
