About our remedial sealant in Witham
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you have beads that never stuck properly and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Plenty of homes in a town like Witham have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a family home in Witham, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Do not point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. A visit in Witham needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.

What remedial sealant looks like in Witham
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.
If you look after a building such as Maltings Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Witham United Reformed Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Look out for these signs:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
For landlords with property near Witham station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
