Thanington Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Thanington? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Over-sealed joints coming away
How we handle remedial sealant in Thanington
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, along with when it was last resealed. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
Around Thanington, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Thanington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What else we do in Thanington
How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to Thanington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Thanington
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Canterbury Primary 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Thanington: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Thanington?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Canterbury East station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
