How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Remedial sealant in Dargate
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you are dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints alike.
Being in a small place like Dargate makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Find out why the sealant failed first
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Remedial sealant in Dargate: local notes
Dargate is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Selling station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Dargate is about 4 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. Dargate gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Dargate is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. We also work in Chelmsford, around 36 miles away.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. 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. In a small place like Dargate, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dargate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
