Remedial sealant in Ifieldwood
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. If you have beads that never stuck properly and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Ifieldwood, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Ifieldwood as everywhere else we work.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Run the fan after every shower
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Ifieldwood

Do you cover smaller places like Ifieldwood?

Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Where do you work from?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Ifieldwood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Ifieldwood
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 look after a building such as The Mill Primary Academy, 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. For an older house near a landmark such as St Margaret's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Ifield station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
