Remedial sealant & repairs in Shottenden, Kent
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for householders, landlords and businesses in Shottenden. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Shottenden, 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Remedial sealant in Shottenden, done properly
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Somewhere as small as Shottenden, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What remedial sealant looks like in Shottenden
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. In a small place like Shottenden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we are called out for in Shottenden
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Around Shottenden, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
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.
