Remedial sealant in Eastry, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In and around Eastry, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Eastry 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.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Eastry Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted

FAQs for Eastry
I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Eastry?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Eastry is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Eastry, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on how much there is to do. For a job in Eastry, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
