How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. 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. For a village or hamlet like Tide Mills, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tide Mills
In Tide Mills, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. Common call-outs are for dark patches showing through the sealant and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Homes around Tide Mills are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned 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 email us.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Clean sealant with mild products only
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Tide Mills, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Common problems we fix in Tide Mills
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Black mould underneath the bead
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as UTC@Harbourside, 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.

Questions from Tide Mills
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Tide Mills?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Is Tide Mills within the area you cover?
Yes. Tide Mills is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Tide Mills?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Tide Mills homes and their sealant
Tide Mills is within about 1 mile 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 let a flat or house near Bishopstone (Sussex) 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 Andrew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
