About our remedial sealant in Millbank
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and torn expansion joints.
Around Millbank, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Millbank, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What remedial sealant looks like in Millbank
Millbank 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. 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 look after a building such as Hoath Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of the Holy Cross, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Millbank is about 2 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. From the centre of Millbank to the outskirts, remedial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Millbank
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why act early in Millbank
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a small place like Millbank, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
