Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you have leaks that keep coming back after resealing and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Sharpthorne, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sharpthorne
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Should I try it myself 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Remedial sealant around Sharpthorne
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as West Hoathly CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St Margaret's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near East Grinstead station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Sharpthorne
Can you do remedial sealant in Sharpthorne?
Yes, Sharpthorne is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near East Grinstead station?

Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Sharpthorne?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
