Remedial sealant & repairs in Monk's Hill, Kent
We cover Monk's Hill for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Why deal with it now?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In a small place like Monk's Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Remedial sealant in Monk's Hill, done properly
In Monk's Hill, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: 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. If you’re dealing with repeat leaks from the same joint and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help.
Homes around Monk's Hill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Monk's Hill
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Remedial sealant around Monk's Hill
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.
Managing a site like Smarden Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Near you in Monk's Hill

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Monk's Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?

Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
