Remedial sealant in Staplehurst, done properly
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for black mould underneath the bead and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
Smaller places like Staplehurst still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. For a job in Staplehurst, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Why act early in Staplehurst
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a smaller place like Staplehurst, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.

How the job changes by surface

A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.

FAQs for Staplehurst
I let a flat near Staplehurst station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Staplehurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We’ll tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Staplehurst homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Staplehurst School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
