Remedial sealant in Finberry
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. If you’re dealing with beads that never stuck properly and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Being in a small place like Finberry makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Questions from Finberry
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashford International station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Finberry?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Finberry
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a small place like Finberry, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Homes, businesses and hotels

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Finberry needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.

Do you need remedial sealant in Finberry?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Managing a site like Finberry Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
What remedial sealant looks like in Finberry
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.
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
