What remedial sealant looks like in Oare
Oare is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Oare has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Faversham station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Managing a site like Davington Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

About our remedial sealant in Oare
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Oare makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Oare, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Oare can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
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.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
What else we do in Oare
Common problems we fix in Oare
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- A second bead peeling off the first
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
