About our remedial sealant in Chidham
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, across expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Being in a small place like Chidham makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the quote in Chidham
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it 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. In a small place like Chidham, 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 look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Chidham
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Letting a property close to Nutbourne station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Common questions in Chidham
Do you cover smaller places like Chidham?
Yes, Chidham is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Chidham for remedial sealant?
Yes, Chidham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Chidham?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Landlord and commercial work in Chidham
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What remedial sealant looks like in Chidham
Chidham is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Managing a site like Chidham Parochial Primary 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. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Deal with small splits early
- Do not point over movement joints
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Chidham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
