Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lower Willingdon
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints alike.
Smaller places like Lower Willingdon still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Common questions in Lower Willingdon
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polegate station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Willingdon?
Yes, Lower Willingdon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Lower Willingdon?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Lower Willingdon homes and their sealant
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 look after a building such as Willingdon Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as St Wilfrid, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What else we do in Lower Willingdon
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a smaller place like Lower Willingdon, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
