Remedial sealant in Broadstairs, done properly
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Plenty of homes in a town like Broadstairs have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.

Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Broadstairs has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Broadstairs station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Broadstairs, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom is not generally needed. 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. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Broadstairs they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, 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
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
When to call us in Broadstairs
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
If you look after a building such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Broadstairs
Do you take on hotel work around Broadstairs?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you work for landlords with property near Broadstairs station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
