Remedial sealant in Cranbrook Common, done properly
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
In a village or hamlet like Cranbrook Common, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Cranbrook Common 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
When to call us in Cranbrook Common
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
If you let a flat or house near Staplehurst station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why act early in Cranbrook Common
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Cranbrook Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We agree the colour with you first

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Cranbrook Common homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranbrook School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
