Remedial sealant & repairs in Palmer's Green, Kent
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Palmer's Green? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- A second bead peeling off the first
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
About our remedial sealant in Palmer's Green
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and a second bead peeling off the first, we can put it right, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.

How the visit 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 usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Palmer's Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Palmer's Green
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Paddock Wood station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Palmer's Green
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Schools such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
