Slutshole homes and their sealant
Slutshole is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Hernhill 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.
Slutshole is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Slutshole gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Remedial sealant in Slutshole
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Somewhere as small as Slutshole, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Do you need remedial sealant in Slutshole?
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Common questions in Slutshole
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Selling station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Slutshole?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why act early in Slutshole
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Slutshole, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive

- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
