Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What remedial sealant looks like in Broomfield
Broomfield is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Herne Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and 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.
Broomfield is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Broomfield gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, 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: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Broomfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. In a small place like Broomfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
FAQs for Broomfield
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Broomfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Broomfield?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
