About our remedial sealant in East Wickham
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are dark patches showing through the sealant and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In East Wickham, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not point over movement joints
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In East Wickham, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Questions from East Wickham
I live in a flat in East Wickham. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
I let a flat near Welling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Why act early in East Wickham
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

East Wickham homes and their sealant
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. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Welling station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. As a London address, East Wickham can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
When to call us in East Wickham
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you live in an older home near St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
