About our remedial sealant in Broadwater Down
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about beads that never stuck properly and over-sealed joints coming away.
Homes around Broadwater Down range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Broadwater Down
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. 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, including the tidy-up. For a job in Broadwater Down, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Broadwater Down: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work, and we are ARBOMaster approved.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Broadwater Down?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Do not point over movement joints
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
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.
Common problems we fix in Broadwater Down
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
Homes close to St Mark's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
