Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Crawley
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, across botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
Somewhere as small as Crawley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. 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. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Questions from Crawley
Do you work for landlords with property near Finstock station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Crawley?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What affects the quote in Crawley
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.

What remedial sealant looks like in Crawley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Crawley. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Finstock station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Hailey Church of England 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.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
