Bladon Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Bladon on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Bladon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Remedial sealant in Bladon, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Typical jobs include a second bead peeling off the first and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Somewhere as small as Bladon, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Bladon

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
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.
Landlord and commercial work in Bladon
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Common problems we fix in Bladon
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
If you let a flat or house near Hanborough station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

FAQs for Bladon
Do you cover smaller places like Bladon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Bladon?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We’ll tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Bladon homes and their sealant
Bladon has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.
If you look after a building such as Bladon Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St Martin's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Bladon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
