Remedial sealant in Ellen's Green, done properly
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We’re often asked to deal with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
Homes around Ellen's Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Ellen's Green and across West Sussex.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

When to call us in Ellen's Green
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Letting a property close to Warnham station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
