Chithurst Remedial Sealant
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Chithurst. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
How we handle remedial sealant in Chithurst
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you have a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints alike.
For a small place like Chithurst, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chithurst and across Hampshire.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Chithurst needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a small place like Chithurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Chithurst
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Beads that never stuck properly
In the older streets around Chithurst Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
Common questions in Chithurst
Do you work for landlords with property near Liphook station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Chithurst within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Chithurst homes and their sealant
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stedham Primary School, 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 let a flat or house near Liphook station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
