What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Cox Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Remedial sealant in Lower Cox Street
Water on the floor doesn’t 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. If you’re dealing with sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
For a small place like Lower Cox Street, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What remedial sealant looks like in Lower Cox Street
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Bearsted station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What else we do in Lower Cox Street
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Lower Cox Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Do not point over movement joints
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Lower Cox Street: your questions answered
I let a flat near Bearsted station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Lower Cox Street for remedial sealant?
Yes, Lower Cox Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
