- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Remedial sealant in North Street
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We’re often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints.
Around North Street, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What else we do in North Street
Landlord and commercial work in North Street
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in North Street and across Medway. Several sites can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
North Street homes and their sealant
North Street is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Gillingham (Kent) station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What affects the quote in North Street
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as North Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around North Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We agree the colour with you first
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
