Remedial Sealant in Westenhanger
Professional remedial sealant in and around Westenhanger, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
How we handle remedial sealant in Westenhanger
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Around Westenhanger, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What else we do in Westenhanger
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Westenhanger

Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Westenhanger?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Westenhanger, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What remedial sealant looks like in Westenhanger
Westenhanger is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to All Saints Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Lympne Church of England Primary School? Then 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.

Do you need remedial sealant in Westenhanger?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the colour is chosen
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
