About our remedial sealant in Appleford-on-Thames
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you are dealing with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Appleford-on-Thames are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in Appleford-on-Thames
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Appleford-on-Thames, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
