Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Long Ditton
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. In Long Ditton, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
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.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Why act early in Long Ditton
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Long Ditton, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Long Ditton: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Long Ditton?
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 Long Ditton?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That is 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?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Run the fan after every shower
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Long Ditton
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.

Do you need remedial sealant in Long Ditton?
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
