About our remedial sealant in Kent Street
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We’re often asked to deal with products that weren’t meant for the joint and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
In a village or hamlet like Kent Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kent Street
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Kings Hill School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Lawrence's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Common problems we fix in Kent Street
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Never seal over old silicone
- Run the fan after every shower
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Kent Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kent Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
