Signs you need remedial sealant in Shermanbury
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Torn expansion joints
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Managing a site like Jolesfield CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Remedial sealant in Shermanbury
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you are dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Shermanbury, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Shermanbury and across West Sussex.

What affects the quote in Shermanbury
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Shermanbury, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Homes close to The Parish Church of St Giles include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
