DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
About our remedial sealant in Paglesham
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. Common call-outs are for sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
Around Paglesham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Paglesham questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Burnham-On-Crouch station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Paglesham?
Yes, Paglesham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Paglesham
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Paglesham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Paglesham
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peters Mission Hall, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
