Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Shopwyke
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you’re dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right.
Around Shopwyke, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Shopwyke questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chichester station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Shopwyke within the area you cover?
Yes. Shopwyke is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not point over movement joints
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
What we’re called out for in Shopwyke
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

How we quote for remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What remedial sealant looks like in Shopwyke
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Westbourne House School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. 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. Somewhere like Shopwyke needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
