Tooting Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Tooting? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
About our remedial sealant in Tooting
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and beads that never stuck properly.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Tooting are no different.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

As a London address, Tooting can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Homes close to St Augustine include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Tooting
Can worn sealant in a flat in Tooting cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in Tooting?
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 offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. For a job in Tooting, 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

What else we do in Tooting
Common problems we fix in Tooting
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Letting a property close to Tooting station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How hidden problems are handled
Why act early in Tooting
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a flat in Tooting, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Full insurance on every job

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward 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.
