Remedial sealant in Kentsboro
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you’re dealing with sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help.
For a small place like Kentsboro, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints

Kentsboro: your questions answered
Will you come out to Kentsboro?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Kentsboro for remedial sealant?
Yes, Kentsboro is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we’re called out for in Kentsboro
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Kentsboro, 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
