Remedial sealant in Hastings Old Town, done properly
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. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have products that weren’t meant for the joint and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can help, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Homes around Hastings Old Town range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. In a smaller place like Hastings Old Town, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Hastings Old Town, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint, then reseal neatly.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Do you need remedial sealant in Hastings Old Town?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Managing a site like Ark Castledown Primary Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
