Bathrooms and kitchens in Saltwood
Saltwood is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you look after a building such as Saltwood CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How we handle remedial sealant in Saltwood
Remedial jobs in Saltwood normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Typical jobs include mould trapped under a layer of silicone and over-sealed joints coming away, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Saltwood, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Saltwood
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Saltwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
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 explain our choice.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Run the fan after every shower
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
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.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Saltwood, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
