Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Ascott d'Oyley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Ascott d'Oyley customers choose us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A choice of colours where the product allows

About our remedial sealant in Ascott d'Oyley
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. Typical jobs include over-sealed joints coming away and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Around Ascott d'Oyley, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Ascott d'Oyley
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you let a flat or house near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Ascott d'Oyley, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What affects the quote in Ascott d'Oyley

- Any mould that needs treating

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens

Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
