DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
About our remedial sealant in Seven Kings
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you’re dealing with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Seven Kings are no different.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Seven Kings
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Homes close to St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
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.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
What remedial sealant looks like in Seven Kings
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
As a London address, Seven Kings can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Managing a site like Downshall Primary School? Then 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.

FAQs for Seven Kings
Is parking a problem for a job in Seven Kings?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Seven Kings?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
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 any work starts.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you come to Seven Kings?
We do. Our applicators work in Seven Kings.

Why it’s worth doing now in Seven Kings
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
