What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tortington
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you’re dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Tortington, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: 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 comes with our one-year guarantee.

Remedial sealant around Tortington
Tortington 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near St Mary Magdalene's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Ford station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Arundel CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Somewhere like Tortington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tortington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
