About our remedial sealant in Winterbourne
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right.
Around Winterbourne, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Winterbourne
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St James, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Somewhere like Winterbourne 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.
- 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.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
For anyone letting property in or around Winterbourne, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
When to call us in Winterbourne
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mary Hare School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Winterbourne: your questions answered
Is Winterbourne within the area you cover?
Yes. Winterbourne 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.
Is Winterbourne in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Winterbourne is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.

Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
