Cocking Remedial Sealant
Professional remedial sealant in and around Cocking, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A second bead peeling off the first
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
How we handle remedial sealant in Cocking
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can put it right, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Homes around Cocking are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Cocking
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.
If you live in an older home near St Catherine of Siena Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

When to call us in Cocking
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
In and around Cocking, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Cocking
Can you do remedial sealant in Cocking?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cocking is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Cocking within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across West Sussex.
How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Cocking, 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Why act early in Cocking
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cocking, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
