About our remedial sealant in Greatstone-on-Sea
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Somewhere as small as Greatstone-on-Sea, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Why act early in Greatstone-on-Sea
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around Greatstone-on-Sea, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Should I try it myself 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What we’re called out for in Greatstone-on-Sea
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Torn expansion joints
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greatstone Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Greatstone-on-Sea needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Never seal over old silicone
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Greatstone-on-Sea homes and their sealant
Greatstone-on-Sea is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St Peter's, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
