How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Pickhurst, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

About our remedial sealant in Pickhurst
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you’re dealing with beads that never stuck properly and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Pickhurst makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never seal over old silicone
- Run the fan after every shower
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
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. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Pickhurst
Using the wrong product is a common cause: 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.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
