Penhurst questions
Is Penhurst in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Penhurst is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Battle station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
Then we explain what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
About our remedial sealant in Penhurst
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you are dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Penhurst, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What remedial sealant looks like in Penhurst
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.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Michael, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Penhurst is about 6 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Across the TN33 area, we cover remedial sealant for homes and businesses. Penhurst is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover for remedial sealant. For nearby work, see our Brighton page (24 miles or so).

What else we do in Penhurst
Signs you need remedial sealant in Penhurst
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Letting a property close to Battle station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Penhurst, 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.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Landlords and letting agents in Penhurst can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Can I do it myself?
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 do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
