Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for Waterloo, backed by a one-year guarantee. Ask us for a quote.
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Remedial sealant in Waterloo
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are torn expansion joints and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
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 Waterloo, that is a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Places near Waterloo

Waterloo homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Waterloo. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Oasis Academy Johanna? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Waterloo is about 1 mile west of London, in Greater London. Across the SE1 area, we cover remedial sealant for homes and businesses. Waterloo is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for remedial sealant.
Work in SE1, SE11 and WC2N is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need remedial sealant at a property on York Road, Spur Road and Bear Lane or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. With the A301 and A302 close by, Waterloo is simple for us to get to for remedial sealant. Neighbouring places we cover for remedial sealant include South Bank (1 mile north-west), Bankside (1 mile north-east), Adelphi (1 mile north-west), Temple (1 mile north) and Charing Cross (1 mile north-west).

Around Waterloo
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Jubilee Gardens, Oasis Academy South Bank and Lambeth Palace Library and the streets around them. You will also find The Duke of Sussex pub (within half a mile east) and Oasis Academy South Bank (less than half a mile south). Waterloo has its own railway station: London Waterloo station. A little further out are Gabriel's Wharf (0.5 miles north) and Baynard's Castle (0.9 miles north-east). Open spaces near Waterloo include Ludgate Hill and Bellenden Road Nature Garden.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Why it’s worth doing now in Waterloo
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. 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 Waterloo, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

What we are called out for in Waterloo
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Torn expansion joints
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Letting a property close to London Waterloo station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

FAQs for Waterloo
Is parking a problem for a job in Waterloo?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Waterloo?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In Waterloo, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
