About our remedial sealant in Tenterden
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Typical jobs include smears and lumps from a botched reseal and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Homes around Tenterden range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Common problems we fix in Tenterden
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
If you look after a building such as Tenterden Infant School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Tenterden, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.

Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Remedial sealant in Tenterden: local notes
Tenterden has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mildred, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Tenterden is about 9 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Tenterden gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 922 places in Kent are on our list, large and small. You can also see our page for Crawley, about 38 miles away.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Parking around Tenterden is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
