Remedial sealant & repairs in Crawley, Hampshire
Remedial sealant across Crawley and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, then reseal neatly.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
How we handle remedial sealant in Crawley
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. Common call-outs are for black mould underneath the bead and torn expansion joints, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Somewhere as small as Crawley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we’re called out for in Crawley
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
For landlords with property near Winchester station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Crawley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
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.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

Questions from Crawley
Is Crawley in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Crawley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Winchester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Crawley
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crawley
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
What we can’t put right

- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
