Remedial sealant in Icklesham
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We’re often asked to deal with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and a second bead peeling off the first, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
Being in a small place like Icklesham makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

What we are called out for in Icklesham
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Rented homes near Winchelsea station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom is not generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Around Icklesham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Remedial sealant around Icklesham
Icklesham 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
