- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Burwash Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom is not usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In a small place like Burwash Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Burwash Common clients choose us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We never seal over old sealant
- We agree the colour with you first
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burwash Common
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
When to call us in Burwash Common
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For landlords with property near Stonegate station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Remedial sealant in Burwash Common: local notes
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.
Homes close to St Philip's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
