- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Remedial sealant in Pedlinge, done properly
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We are often asked to deal with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, across shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Somewhere as small as Pedlinge, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Pedlinge: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandling station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Pedlinge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Remedial sealant in Pedlinge: local notes
Pedlinge is within about 2 miles of 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Brockhill Park Performing Arts College? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Pedlinge Chapel, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Pedlinge is about 1 mile north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Pedlinge gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Pedlinge is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for remedial sealant. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
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. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
When to call us in Pedlinge
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you let a flat or house near Sandling station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Pedlinge, 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 look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
Why act early in Pedlinge
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. In a small place like Pedlinge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
