The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Jacob's Post, 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Remedial sealant around Jacob's Post
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Providence Strict Baptist Chapel, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as The Gattons Infant School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Jacob's Post, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Common problems we fix in Jacob's Post
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
Letting a property close to Burgess Hill station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
