How we handle remedial sealant in Pixham
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and black mould underneath the bead.
Around Pixham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

What remedial sealant looks like in Pixham
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Pixham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Pixham Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like The Ashcombe 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.

Common questions in Pixham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dorking station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Pixham?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
Then we explain what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed.
Do you work in Pixham?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Landlord and commercial work in Pixham
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Pixham and across Surrey. We can quote a run of properties together.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Pixham
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you let a flat or house near Dorking station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pixham
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pixham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Pixham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
