DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Common questions in Bakers Arms
I let a flat near Leyton Midland Road station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Bakers Arms cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Do you work in Bakers Arms?
Yes. We work in Bakers Arms, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Bakers Arms?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. In Bakers Arms, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bakers Arms
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Bakers Arms is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Rented homes near Leyton Midland Road station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we are called out for in Bakers Arms
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
If you look after a building such as Thomas Gamuel Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
