Remedial sealant in Aston Abbotts
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We are often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Being in a small place like Aston Abbotts makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint, then reseal neatly.
Questions from Aston Abbotts
Do you cover Aston Abbotts for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Aston Abbotts is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Aston Abbotts, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aston Abbotts homes and their sealant

If you look after a building such as Wingrave Church of England Combined School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Aston Abbotts, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Common problems we fix in Aston Abbotts
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Over-sealed joints coming away
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
