Remedial sealant in Lidsing
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Lidsing, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Why act early in Lidsing
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lidsing, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Remedial sealant around Lidsing
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Swingate Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Lidsing
Is Lidsing within the area you cover?
Yes. Lidsing is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do remedial sealant in Lidsing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lidsing is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Deal with small splits early
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Lidsing
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Rented homes near Rainham (Kent) station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
