About our remedial sealant in Higham
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Common call-outs are for black mould underneath the bead and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
For a small place like Higham, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Higham and across Medway.

What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around Higham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Higham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Quotes for remedial sealant in Higham
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

What remedial sealant looks like in Higham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Higham station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Higham Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Homes close to Church of St John include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Higham questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Higham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do remedial sealant in Higham?
Yes, Higham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.
