Remedial sealant in Wix, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about black mould underneath the bead and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Around Wix, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Wix
Can you do remedial sealant in Wix?
Yes, Wix is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.

Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep the room well ventilated
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
What remedial sealant looks like in Wix
Wix is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Wix is about 5 miles west of Harwich, in Essex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Wix is covered for remedial sealant, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Wix is one of 644 places in Essex where we work for remedial sealant. We also work in Chelmsford, around 30 miles away.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Other services in Wix
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Wix, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
Ask for a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we’re called out for in Wix
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Look out for these signs:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
For landlords with property near Wrabness station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
