About our remedial sealant in Temple Bar
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and torn expansion joints.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Temple Bar, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Do you need remedial sealant in Temple Bar?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Letting a property close to City Thameslink station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Why act early in Temple Bar
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. 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 Temple Bar, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why Temple Bar clients choose us

How we quote for remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied and we leave things clean and tidy. In Temple Bar, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Getting a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not point over movement joints
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Temple Bar
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Temple Bar. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
As a London address, Temple Bar can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Managing a site like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Questions from Temple Bar
Can worn sealant in a flat in Temple Bar cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you take on hotel work around Temple Bar?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
