How we handle remedial sealant in Hareplain
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. Common call-outs are for beads that never stuck properly and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Homes around Hareplain are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Do you need remedial sealant in Hareplain?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Rented homes near Headcorn station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Why deal with it now?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hareplain, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Deal with small splits early
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
