Remedial sealant & repairs in East Chiltington, East Sussex
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in East Chiltington and across East Sussex. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- A second bead peeling off the first
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as East Chiltington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in East Chiltington
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have dark patches showing through the sealant and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right.
Around East Chiltington, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in East Chiltington?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Remedial sealant around East Chiltington
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Plumpton station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Plumpton Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
