Remedial sealant & repairs in Smeeth, Kent
We cover Smeeth for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
Should I try it myself first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Remedial sealant in Smeeth, done properly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Being in a small place like Smeeth makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Smeeth and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Smeeth
When to call us in Smeeth
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Torn expansion joints
Managing a site like Smeeth Community Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Before booking anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is VAT in the price?
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Smeeth
Is Smeeth in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Smeeth is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Westenhanger station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Westenhanger station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
