Bodiam Remedial Sealant
Remedial sealant across Bodiam and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Remedial sealant in Bodiam, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. We are often asked to deal with a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Bodiam, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Bodiam
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Giles, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether you can choose the colour
What remedial sealant looks like in Bodiam
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.
For landlords with property near Robertsbridge station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Schools such as Bodiam Manor School are buildings too, and 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.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Bodiam, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Where are you based?

How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
