- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Boarshead
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Homes around Boarshead are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Boarshead and across East Sussex.

Do you need remedial sealant in Boarshead?
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you let a flat or house near Eridge station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What remedial sealant looks like in Boarshead
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Questions from Boarshead
Will you come out to Boarshead?
Yes, Boarshead is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Eridge station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Leave it or put it right?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Boarshead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
