How we handle remedial sealant in High Cogges
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can help.
Somewhere as small as High Cogges, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in High Cogges and everywhere else we cover.

High Cogges questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in High Cogges?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Combe station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. 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.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover High Cogges.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Remedial sealant in High Cogges: local notes
High Cogges has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Combe station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as The Blake Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. 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.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around High Cogges, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like High Cogges, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
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.

What else we do in High Cogges
Common problems we fix in High Cogges
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
