Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Maypole
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. If you are dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and over-sealed joints coming away, we can put it right, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Being in a small place like Maypole makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Maypole: your questions answered
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Maypole for remedial sealant?
Yes, Maypole is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.

Remedial sealant around Maypole
Maypole is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 look after a building such as Hoath Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Maypole is about 2 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Jobs in Maypole get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Maypole among them. Our Chelmsford page covers work nearby.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Maypole can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Never seal over old silicone
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Run the fan after every shower
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
When to call us in Maypole
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Homes close to Church of the Holy Cross include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- What product goes in the joint
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Maypole, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
