About our remedial sealant in Rainham
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can help, whatever the surface.
Most bathrooms in a town like Rainham are in family homes, used every day, which is hard on sealant and grout. Black mould along the bath, a lifting bead by the sink or crumbling grout in the shower are the usual signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Rainham
Can you do remedial sealant in Rainham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rainham is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is remedial sealant in Rainham guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. Parking in a town like Rainham is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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 happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy home in Rainham they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What remedial sealant looks like in Rainham
Rainham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you look after a building such as St Margaret's Church of England Junior School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
