Remedial sealant & repairs in West Chiltington, West Sussex
Problem with your failed sealant joints in West Chiltington? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like West Chiltington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Remedial sealant in West Chiltington, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
Around West Chiltington, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Places near West Chiltington
What else we do in West Chiltington
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Your questions about remedial sealant in West Chiltington
Is West Chiltington in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Chiltington is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
West Chiltington homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as West Chiltington Community Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we are called out for in West Chiltington
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Letting a property close to Pulborough station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What affects the quote in West Chiltington
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For remedial sealant in West Chiltington, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
