About our remedial sealant in Surrey Quays
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. If you’re dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Surrey Quays, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Deal with small splits early
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

FAQs for Surrey Quays
Can worn sealant in a flat in Surrey Quays cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Is parking a problem for a job in Surrey Quays?
Parking in Surrey Quays, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Surrey Quays?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, including the tidy-up. For a job in Surrey Quays, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
