Remedial sealant in Shoreditch
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Common call-outs are for wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Shoreditch, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Why act early in Shoreditch
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Shoreditch, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Shoreditch. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Common questions in Shoreditch
Is parking a problem for a job in Shoreditch?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shoreditch High Street station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
Then we explain what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
When to call us in Shoreditch
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A second bead peeling off the first
Homes close to St Leonard's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shoreditch
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Shoreditch
Shoreditch 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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Virginia Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. As a London address, Shoreditch can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
