Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Coleman's Hatch
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about a second bead peeling off the first and beads that never stuck properly.
Homes around Coleman's Hatch are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Remedial sealant in Coleman's Hatch: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Holy Trinity Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we’re called out for in Coleman's Hatch
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A second bead peeling off the first
Letting a property close to East Grinstead station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Questions from Coleman's Hatch
Is Coleman's Hatch in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Coleman's Hatch is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Coleman's Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes, Coleman's Hatch is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
