How we handle remedial sealant in Clapham
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’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We are often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and movement joints that have split or pulled away, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Homes around Clapham are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Clapham
Can you do remedial sealant in Clapham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Clapham is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Goring-By-Sea station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

What affects the quote in Clapham
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
Every job is quoted individually. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Clapham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Common problems we fix in Clapham
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
