Remedial sealant in Lenham: local notes
Lenham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Lenham 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. Rented homes near Lenham station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Remedial sealant in Lenham, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Typical jobs include a second bead peeling off the first and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a smaller place like Lenham, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not point over movement joints
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
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.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Lenham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Lenham?
Yes. Lenham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Lenham?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to Lenham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
