Common call-outs are for thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.

Questions from Swattenden
Is Swattenden within the area you cover?
Yes. Swattenden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Swattenden?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
What affects the quote in Swattenden
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Swattenden, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Swattenden
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
For an older house near a landmark such as Congregational Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

- Botched or over-sealed joints

Remedial sealant around Swattenden
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Cranbrook School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
