Remedial Sealant in Darland
Remedial sealant for Darland, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.

- Repeat leaks from the same joint
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you have kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Darland, 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.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Darland, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Darland homes and their sealant
Darland is within about 3 miles of 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Kingfisher Community Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

When to call us in Darland
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Rented homes near Gillingham (Kent) station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether VAT is included
