How we handle remedial sealant in Pegwell
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Being in a small place like Pegwell 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, whatever its size.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Pegwell
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ramsgate station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Pegwell within the area you cover?
Yes. Pegwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints

Pegwell homes and their sealant
Pegwell 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Laurence, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Ramsgate station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Pegwell is about 1 mile south-west of St Lawrence, in Kent. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Pegwell is covered for remedial sealant, old or new, large or small.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Pegwell
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
If you look after a building such as Chilton Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Pegwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Pegwell, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
