Remedial sealant in Snargate
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 remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Being in a small place like Snargate makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Snargate, 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 price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Snargate
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
When to call us in Snargate
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
The most common problems we see are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Torn expansion joints
Letting a property close to Appledore (Kent) station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Snargate questions
Is Snargate in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Snargate is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Snargate?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Snargate?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Snargate, 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.

If you live in an older home near Church of St Dunstan, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
