About our remedial sealant in Chitty
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Typical jobs include sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
For a small place like Chitty, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Chitty
Will you come out to Chitty?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Chitty for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chitty is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Why act early in Chitty
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Chitty, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Remedial sealant in Chitty: local notes
Chitty is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Chitty
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Chitty needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
