How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
About our remedial sealant in Widmore
Remedial jobs in Widmore usually fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and over-sealed joints coming away.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Widmore, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Widmore homes and their sealant
Widmore 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. 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.
Managing a site like Bullers Wood School for Boys? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. As a London address, Widmore can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Homes close to Church of St George include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Deal with small splits early
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a London area like Widmore, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
FAQs for Widmore
Is parking a problem for a job in Widmore?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Could a tired shower seal in my Widmore flat affect the neighbours below?
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.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
Then we explain what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you work in Widmore?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Widmore included.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not 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.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
