How we handle remedial sealant in Swaile's Green
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about beads that never stuck properly and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
Being in a small place like Swaile's Green makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Remedial sealant in Swaile's Green: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
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. For landlords with property near Robertsbridge station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Swaile's Green
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Managing a site like Staplecross Methodist Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What your quote should include

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
