About our remedial sealant in Binsey
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Around Binsey, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Binsey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.

What we’re called out for in Binsey
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What preparation is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Somewhere as small as Binsey, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Remedial sealant in Binsey: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Botley School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
