Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Shoreham-by-Sea
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We are often asked to deal with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
Homes around Shoreham-by-Sea have been extended and refitted over the decades. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham-by-Sea is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around St Mary de Haura Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Buckingham Park Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

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. A visit in Shoreham-by-Sea needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- 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.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Shoreham-by-Sea
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Common questions in Shoreham-by-Sea
Do you work for landlords with property near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Shoreham-by-Sea in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shoreham-by-Sea is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
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.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
When to call us in Shoreham-by-Sea
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A second bead peeling off the first
Letting a property close to Shoreham-By-Sea station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How long to leave it before use
Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy home in Shoreham-by-Sea they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
