Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Hankham
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you have torn expansion joints and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Hankham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hankham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

I let a flat near Pevensey & Westham station. Can you help?

What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Remedial sealant around Hankham
Hankham 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 Luke's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Pevensey & Westham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Advice
What affects the quote in Hankham
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Hankham
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Torn expansion joints
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Managing a site like Hankham Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
