About our remedial sealant in Headcorn
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Smaller places like Headcorn still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Headcorn as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Common problems we fix in Headcorn
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Managing a site like Headcorn Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Remedial sealant around Headcorn
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St Peter's and St Paul's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Headcorn station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Headcorn questions
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Headcorn?
Yes. Headcorn is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Homes in smaller places like Headcorn can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Headcorn, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive

- Tell us if parking is tricky
