How we handle remedial sealant in Totland
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Smaller places like Totland 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. Parking around Totland is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- 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
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Signs you need remedial sealant in Totland
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A second bead peeling off the first
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Totland
Totland is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like St Saviour's Catholic 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.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Totland
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Totland
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Totland?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do remedial sealant in Totland?
Yes, Totland is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
