West Thorney Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in West Thorney on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Torn expansion joints
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Check trays and worktops do not move
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
How we handle remedial sealant in West Thorney
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you have beads that never stuck properly and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as West Thorney, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Remedial sealant around West Thorney
West Thorney 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, so limescale builds up 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 Thorney Island Community Primary School, 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. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
West Thorney is about 5 miles south-east of Havant, in West Sussex.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
What we’re called out for in West Thorney
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A second bead peeling off the first
For landlords with property near Southbourne station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What insurance they hold
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like West Thorney, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around West Thorney, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

West Thorney questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Southbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is West Thorney in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Thorney is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before we start.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
