Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
About our remedial sealant in Duckett's Green
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We are often asked to deal with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and repeat leaks from the same joint, across botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Duckett's Green are no different.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
Common questions in Duckett's Green
Is parking a problem for a job in Duckett's Green?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Could a tired shower seal in my Duckett's Green flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
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 work begins.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Remedial sealant in Duckett's Green: local notes
Duckett's Green has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps.
Duckett's Green is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as St John Vianney RC Primary School, 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. If you live in an older home near Christ Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- We agree the colour with you first
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Deal with small splits early
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
