Remedial sealant in Ifield, done properly
Remedial jobs in Ifield normally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We are often asked to deal with a second bead peeling off the first and torn expansion joints, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
In and around Ifield, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Homes in smaller places like Ifield can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, 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 will give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Common problems we fix in Ifield
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
For an older house near a landmark such as St Margaret's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Ifield, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
