Kilndown Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Kilndown on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Remedial sealant in Kilndown
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you are dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Kilndown, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Kilndown, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Kilndown questions
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Kilndown?
All our work, in Kilndown and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do remedial sealant in Kilndown?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kilndown is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We’ll tell you before any work starts.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Why act early in Kilndown
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Kilndown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Kilndown homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Around Kilndown, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
