Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Scaynes Hill
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. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about floor or wall movement joints that have failed and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Being in a small place like Scaynes Hill makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Remedial sealant around Scaynes Hill
Most of the South East has hard water, 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 St Augustine's CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Augustine of Canterbury include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What affects the quote in Scaynes Hill
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. In a small place like Scaynes Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Scaynes Hill?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Letting a property close to Haywards Heath station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
