Remedial sealant in Albourne Street
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have torn expansion joints and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints alike.
Being in a small place like Albourne Street makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What affects the quote in Albourne Street
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Albourne Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Albourne Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.

Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

Albourne Street homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Hassocks station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Albourne CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
