Remedial sealant & repairs in Cheriton, Kent
Our applicators work in Cheriton on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How we handle remedial sealant in Cheriton
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Smaller places like Cheriton 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

How we quote for remedial sealant

- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking around Cheriton is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Common problems we fix in Cheriton
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
If you look after a building such as All Soul's Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
