How remedial sealant works in West Sussex

With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and dark patches showing through the sealant, across shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints.

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out.

Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

How we quote

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Local landmarks in Crawley

Around Crawley, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park, among other places. Other local landmarks include The George Hotel (under half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (within half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (under half a mile south-east). Crawley has its own railway station: Crawley station. Other landmarks nearby include Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (less than half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Tilgate Lake.

Where we work in West Sussex

Across West Sussex, from Crawley, Horsham and Worthing outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across West Sussex is planned around the weather. Parts of West Sussex are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.

Crawley: Managing a site like Three Bridges Junior School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
A tray or bath that is cracked
A tray or worktop that needs refixing first

Surface by surface

Leaking trays & enclosures

Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.

Worktops & kitchens

Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.

How to look after the new joints

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Check ceilings under showers for marks
Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Check trays and worktops do not move

Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.

Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

Why deal with it now?

Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you.

Questions to ask before you book

Is the old sealant removed completely?
Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Whether VAT is included
Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Questions from West Sussex

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.

Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?

Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.

Where do you work from?

Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Does someone need to be in?

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Should I try DIY first?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

What if resealing will not fix my leak?

That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
