Remedial sealant & repairs in Ivychurch, Kent
We cover Ivychurch for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
How the job changes by surface
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.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Remedial sealant in Ivychurch
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Around Ivychurch, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Questions from Ivychurch
Is Ivychurch within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Appledore (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Ivychurch
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St George, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Remedial sealant around Ivychurch
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Appledore (Kent) station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Ivychurch
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around Ivychurch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Ivychurch, 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.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
