About our remedial sealant in East Wittering
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you’re dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
In and around East Wittering, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
When to call us in East Wittering
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Over-sealed joints coming away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East Wittering Community Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Remedial sealant in East Wittering: local notes
East Wittering is within about 1 mile of 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St Anne, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

FAQs for East Wittering
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in East Wittering?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like East Wittering?
Yes, East Wittering is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
