- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Boughton Malherbe
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.
Letting a property close to Lenham station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied.

- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.

Advice
What we are called out for in Boughton Malherbe
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Schools such as Platts Heath Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Landlord and commercial work in Boughton Malherbe
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Boughton Malherbe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
