Remedial sealant in Reculver
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. If you’re dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help.
For a small place like Reculver, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Reculver
Is Reculver within the area you cover?
Yes, Reculver is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Reculver for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Reculver is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why act early in Reculver
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Reculver, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- We agree the colour with you first
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Reculver, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Reculver
Reculver is close to 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.
If you look after a building such as Reculver Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
