Remedial sealant around Plummers Plain
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Faygate station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Newells Preparatory School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Remedial sealant in Plummers Plain, done properly
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 before the joint can be done properly. Common call-outs are for repeat leaks from the same joint and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Homes around Plummers Plain are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Plummers Plain needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- 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.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

FAQs for Plummers Plain
Will you come out to Plummers Plain?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do remedial sealant in Plummers Plain?
Yes, Plummers Plain is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
What affects the quote in Plummers Plain
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Leave it or put it right?
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 Plummers Plain, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
