Why act early in West Blatchington
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In an older home around West Blatchington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

If you are dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around West Blatchington, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Warning signs: 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.

What else we do in West Blatchington
Questions from West Blatchington
Do you work for landlords with property near Aldrington station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like West Blatchington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We’ll tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
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. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking around West Blatchington 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.
- 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.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Bathrooms and kitchens in West Blatchington
West Blatchington is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around St Peter's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Aldrington station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What we’re called out for in West Blatchington
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you look after a building such as Aldrington CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
