Remedial sealant & repairs in West Malling, Kent
We cover West Malling for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in West Malling
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, along with when it was last resealed. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and dark patches showing through the sealant, across expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
In a smaller place like West Malling, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
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.
FAQs for West Malling
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Malling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work in hotels near West Malling?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Remedial sealant in West Malling: local notes
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. West Malling has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Schools such as More Park Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, including the tidy-up. For a job in West Malling, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Homes in smaller places like West Malling can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
