Remedial sealant for Ickenham and the surrounding area: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
About our remedial sealant in Ickenham
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We are often asked to deal with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and torn expansion joints, across failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Ickenham, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Ickenham questions
Can worn sealant in a flat in Ickenham cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Ruislip station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ickenham
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Ickenham is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Schools such as The Douay Martyrs Catholic School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to St Giles' Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Honest limits

- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Ickenham
Landlord and commercial work in Ickenham
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In Ickenham, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What affects the quote in Ickenham
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The amount of work
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For remedial sealant in Ickenham, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Ickenham.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Never seal over old silicone
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
