When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Ovingdean, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Ovingdean: your questions answered
Will you come out to Ovingdean?

What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.

Why deal with it now?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. In a small place like Ovingdean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What remedial sealant looks like in Ovingdean
Ovingdean is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Ovingdean Hall School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Moulsecoomb station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What we are called out for in Ovingdean
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Homes close to St Wulfran's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if the job turns out different
