Professional worktop joint repair - failed seams cleaned out, properly resealed, watertight finish restored. Stop water damage before it ruins your worktop.
### Stop Water Damage In Its Tracks
Worktop joints are vulnerable. **Water finds its way in, chipboard swells, and before you know it you need a new worktop.** Resealing a joint is quick and cheap. Replacing a worktop isn't.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Check your worktop joints regularly. Run your finger along them - if you feel a gap or soft sealant, it's time to reseal.

Frequently Asked Questions about Worktop joint repair in Dawlish
Why do worktop joints fail?
Usually water getting in over time, poor original sealing, or movement in the units. Once water reaches the chipboard core, it swells and pushes the joint apart.
Can a failed joint be repaired or does the worktop need replacing?
If caught early, joints can be resealed. If water damage has caused swelling or delamination, that section may need replacing. We'll assess and advise.
What sealant do you use?
Waterproof joint compound designed for worktops. Standard silicone isn't suitable - it doesn't bond well and discolours. Proper worktop sealant is colour-matched and permanent.
How do I prevent joint problems?
Wipe up spills, especially at joints. Don't leave standing water. If you notice the seal failing, fix it before water gets in. Prevention is much easier than repair.
