How we handle remedial sealant in Pease Pottage
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We’re often asked to deal with torn expansion joints and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Around Pease Pottage, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pease Pottage and across West Sussex.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Questions from Pease Pottage
Do you work for landlords with property near Crawley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should the sealant in an older Pease Pottage home be renewed?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant doesn’t last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather, and many homes in Pease Pottage may already be on their second or third set.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like Pease Pottage, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Remedial sealant around Pease Pottage
Crawley, which Pease Pottage is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Crawley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as Discovery New School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why act early in Pease Pottage
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Pease Pottage, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
