Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in South Ealing
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We’re often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In South Ealing, 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 will sort it.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is

Do you need remedial sealant in South Ealing?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
As a London address, South Ealing can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Common questions in South Ealing
Do you work in hotels near South Ealing?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Grange Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

- Botched or over-sealed joints
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Do not point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
