Swanley Village Remedial Sealant
Professional remedial sealant in and around Swanley Village, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
About our remedial sealant in Swanley Village
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
Being in a small place like Swanley Village makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Swanley Village
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Swanley Village
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. Around Swanley Village, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Remedial sealant around Swanley Village

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
- Run the fan after every shower
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.

There’s no set price, as it 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.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
