Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
About our remedial sealant in Bayworth
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you’re dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Being in a small place like Bayworth makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Bayworth and across Oxfordshire.

Bayworth: your questions answered
I let a flat near Radley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Bayworth?
Yes, Bayworth is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What does remedial sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we will not pretend it will.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a small place like Bayworth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bayworth
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Radley station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you look after a building such as Sunningwell Church of England Primary 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
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.
Can I do it myself?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Bayworth, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Bayworth
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Look out for any of the following:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
