DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Etchingham
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
Being in a small place like Etchingham makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we’re called out for in Etchingham
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Questions from Etchingham
Will you come out to Etchingham?
Yes. Etchingham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Etchingham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Etchingham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Deal with small splits early
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
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. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
