- Beads that never stuck properly
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Remedial sealant in Southwick, done properly
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Around Southwick, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Southwick and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Southwick
Do you cover Southwick for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Southwick is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Portchester station. Can you help?

What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Southwick
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with small splits early
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Run the fan after every shower
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What remedial sealant looks like in Southwick
Southwick is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Portchester station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Church of St James Without the Priory Gate, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like King Richard School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Southwick 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.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southwick
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
