About our remedial sealant in West Itchenor
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints alike.
For a small place like West Itchenor, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like West Itchenor, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

FAQs for West Itchenor
Can you do remedial sealant in West Itchenor?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Itchenor is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is West Itchenor within the area you cover?
Yes, West Itchenor is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the old sealant be removed?

Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.

Bathrooms and kitchens in West Itchenor
West Itchenor 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Bosham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Common problems we fix in West Itchenor
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Homes close to St Nicholas' Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
