Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Bampton
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and a second bead peeling off the first.
In and around Bampton, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Bampton
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never seal over old silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What remedial sealant looks like in Bampton
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Bampton CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Bampton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
FAQs for Bampton
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Bampton?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Bampton in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bampton is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
