- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

Common questions in Staplecross
Is Staplecross in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Staplecross is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Robertsbridge station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Staplecross.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

What remedial sealant looks like in Staplecross
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Staplecross Methodist Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Marks Staplecross, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Staplecross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What we’re called out for in Staplecross
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
Letting a property close to Robertsbridge station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Before booking anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Staplecross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
