Remedial Sealant in Hastings
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Hastings? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal

- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Botched or over-sealed joints
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Hastings
In Hastings, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about over-sealed joints coming away and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Hastings is big enough to have housing from every era, from period houses to modern flats and estates. Bathrooms and kitchens in all of them need their sealant and grout renewing sooner or later.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Hastings and across East Sussex.

There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Remedial sealant around Hastings
Hastings is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hastings has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near St Leonards Warrior Square station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around St Luke's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
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.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In central Hastings, parking can be tight, so tell us about driveways, permits or nearby car parks. For flats, mention stairs, lifts and shared entrances as well.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common problems we fix in Hastings
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Torn expansion joints
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
If you look after a building such as St Paul's Church of England Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Questions from Hastings
Is Hastings in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hastings is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Hastings?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
