About our remedial sealant in Ringmer
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right.
Smaller places like Ringmer still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. In a smaller place like Ringmer, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common problems we fix in Ringmer
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)

Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints

What remedial sealant looks like in Ringmer
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Glynde station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you look after a building such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
