Remedial sealant in Charlton-in-Dover
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We are often asked to deal with thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and a second bead peeling off the first, on failed movement joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Smaller places like Charlton-in-Dover still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
How the visit works
There isn’t 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, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Charlton-in-Dover, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

How long before the joint can be used?

What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.

What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Common problems we fix in Charlton-in-Dover
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
