What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Remedial sealant in Ascott-under-Wychwood
In Ascott-under-Wychwood, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you have sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Ascott-under-Wychwood, it’s 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a small place like Ascott-under-Wychwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

When to call us in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Torn expansion joints
For landlords with property near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

Where we work in Ascott-under-Wychwood
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
