Remedial sealant in East Worthing, done properly
Remedial jobs in East Worthing usually fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you’re dealing with black mould underneath the bead and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can put it right, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
In and around East Worthing, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in East Worthing
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you let a flat or house near East Worthing station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

East Worthing questions
Do you take on hotel work around East Worthing?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Worthing station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We’ll tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to East Worthing is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Remedial sealant in East Worthing: local notes
East Worthing 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, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Lyndhurst Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St George's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Homes in smaller places like East Worthing can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
