How we handle remedial sealant in Tovil
In Tovil, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We are often asked to deal with dark patches showing through the sealant and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Around Tovil, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.

Why act early in Tovil
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In an older home around Tovil, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Take a look at what affects the cost and what customers say.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
What we’re called out for in Tovil
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Rented homes near Maidstone West station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Tovil questions
Do you cover smaller places like Tovil?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Maidstone West station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Tovil?
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.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day.

- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep the room well ventilated
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
