Remedial sealant in Upper Horsebridge, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
Smaller places like Upper Horsebridge still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

When to call us in Upper Horsebridge
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you let a flat or house near Polegate station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

- How long to leave it before use

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Upper Horsebridge homes and their sealant
Upper Horsebridge has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Hawkes Farm Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. Parking around Upper Horsebridge is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Upper Horsebridge questions
Do you work in hotels near Upper Horsebridge?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Upper Horsebridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
