About our remedial sealant in Whatlington
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Being in a small place like Whatlington makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Whatlington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Whatlington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What we’re called out for in Whatlington
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
In the older streets around St Mary Magdalene's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.

Remedial sealant around Whatlington
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Vinehall 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. Rented homes near Battle station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
