How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Lynsted needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Remedial sealant in Lynsted
Remedial jobs in Lynsted generally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Lynsted, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What remedial sealant looks like in Lynsted
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, 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.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Can I do it myself?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never seal over old silicone
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lynsted
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Around Lynsted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we are called out for in Lynsted
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Rented homes near Teynham station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Before booking anyone

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
