Specialist remedial sealant for Wincheap: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. In a smaller place like Wincheap, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

How we handle remedial sealant in Wincheap
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you are dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Wincheap range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
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.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Wincheap
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Wincheap has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Canterbury East station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of St Mildred, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Wincheap Foundation 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.

Wincheap: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Wincheap?
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.
Is Wincheap within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
