Clare Market Remedial Sealant
We cover Clare Market for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Over-sealed joints coming away
How we handle remedial sealant in Clare Market
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you are dealing with torn expansion joints and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can help.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Clare Market, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. In a London area like Clare Market, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Clare Market: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Clare Market?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in Clare Market?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Clare Market
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
For an older house near a landmark such as Enon Chapel, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near London Charing Cross station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

What else we do in Clare Market
Signs you need remedial sealant in Clare Market
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
