Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Abbey Gate
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Somewhere as small as Abbey Gate, 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Abbey Gate
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Abbey Gate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Remedial sealant around Abbey Gate
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Maidstone East station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Is Abbey Gate in your area for remedial sealant?

What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
When to call us in Abbey Gate
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Look out for these signs:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Black mould underneath the bead
Managing a site like Sandling Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
