How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

- Any working-time requirements on site

- Which sealant suits the joint
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Sholden, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Signs you need remedial sealant in Sholden
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Schools such as Sholden Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

Common questions in Sholden
Do you take on hotel work around Sholden?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Deal station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. 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.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
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.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Sholden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Don’t point over movement joints
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and agents in Sholden can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What remedial sealant looks like in Sholden
Sholden 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Deal station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
