About our remedial sealant in Platt's Heath
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you are dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can help.
Being in a small place like Platt's Heath 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Platt's Heath and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Platt's Heath
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
If you let a flat or house near Lenham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Platt's Heath, 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 protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Remedial sealant in Platt's Heath: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Platts Heath Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
