Do you need remedial sealant in Sweethaws?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
For landlords with property near Crowborough station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Sweethaws needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Questions from Sweethaws
Is Sweethaws within the area you cover?
Yes, Sweethaws is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Crowborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a small place like Sweethaws, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
