Dunbridge Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Dunbridge? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Remedial sealant in Dunbridge, done properly
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about a second bead peeling off the first and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Somewhere as small as Dunbridge, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Dunbridge: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Dunbridge?
Yes. Dunbridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.

What else we do in Dunbridge
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunbridge
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What affects the quote in Dunbridge
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Dunbridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Dunbridge homes and their sealant
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 Church of St Andrew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Awbridge 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 Dunbridge
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
