About our remedial sealant in Stone Cross
Remedial jobs in Stone Cross generally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you are dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Smaller places like Stone Cross still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Homes in smaller places like Stone Cross can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What we are called out for in Stone Cross
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
For landlords with property near Pevensey & Westham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee
Bathrooms and kitchens in Stone Cross
Stone Cross is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Stone Cross School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St Luke's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Stone Cross
Is Stone Cross in your area for remedial sealant?

Do you work for landlords with property near Pevensey & Westham station?

Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Stone Cross.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, normally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Stone Cross, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
