How we handle remedial sealant in The Brents
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. 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. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Even in a smaller place like The Brents, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Do not point over movement joints
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Common questions in The Brents
Will you come out to The Brents?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Faversham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost 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.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Why act early in The Brents
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In an older home around The Brents, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in The Brents
The Brents is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Davington Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Faversham Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.

Common problems we fix in The Brents
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like The Brents, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
