Remedial sealant & repairs in Oving, West Sussex

- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Remedial sealant in Oving
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 beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Somewhere as small as Oving, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints

What affects the quote in Oving
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The size of the job
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Older cottages and farmhouses around Oving can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We agree the colour with you first
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Oving, 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.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Letting a property close to Chichester station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we are called out for in Oving
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Managing a site like Westbourne House School? Then 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.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
