How we handle remedial sealant in Adur
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and a second bead peeling off the first, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Adur, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Adur, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we are called out for in Adur
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Managing a site like The Sir Robert Woodard Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Remedial sealant around Adur
Adur is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Shoreham-By-Sea station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near St Nicolas' Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Adur gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Adur questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Adur within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
