About our remedial sealant in Meads
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you have dark patches showing through the sealant and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, we can help, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Even in a smaller place like Meads, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Meads
Meads is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Meads. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
In the older streets around St John the Evangelist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Eastbourne station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Why act early in Meads
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Meads, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Meads, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Meads: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Eastbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Meads?
Yes. Meads is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
What sealant 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’ll explain our choice.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or bath that is cracked
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
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.
