About our remedial sealant in Crossbush
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Typical jobs include wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across failed movement joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Around Crossbush, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Crossbush and across West Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Crossbush needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
When to call us in Crossbush
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
Managing a site like The Littlehampton Academy? 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Your questions about remedial sealant in Crossbush
Do you work in hotels near Crossbush?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Arundel station. Can you help?
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 drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Crossbush
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
Crossbush homes and their sealant
Crossbush is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Arundel station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
