Remedial sealant in Potter's Green
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Typical jobs include floor or wall movement joints that have failed and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
Around Potter's Green, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Potter's Green and across East Sussex.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Keep the room well ventilated
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Potter's Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Buxted station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Potter's Green for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Potter's Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Potter's Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

What remedial sealant looks like in Potter's Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Buxted CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When to call us in Potter's Green
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
