Remedial sealant in West Silvertown, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Typical jobs include torn expansion joints and dark patches showing through the sealant, across expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In West Silvertown, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

West Silvertown questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in West Silvertown?
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.
Could a tired shower seal in my West Silvertown flat affect the neighbours below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
How much does remedial sealant cost in West Silvertown?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

West Silvertown homes and their sealant
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. West Silvertown has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near St Barnabas' Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Britannia Village Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. In a London area like West Silvertown, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never seal over old silicone
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Warning signs: 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.
When to call us in West Silvertown
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Torn expansion joints
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
West Silvertown is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
