Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Styants Bottom, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

How we handle remedial sealant in Styants Bottom
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us, along with when it was last resealed. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are products that weren’t meant for the joint and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Around Styants Bottom, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Styants Bottom, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
FAQs for Styants Bottom
Do you cover Styants Bottom for remedial sealant?
Yes, Styants Bottom is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kemsing station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we will not pretend it will.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we are called out for in Styants Bottom
All sealant wears out eventually. 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 most common problems we see are:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Schools such as Ightham Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
