Remedial Sealant in Boars Hill
Failed sealant joints in Boars Hill need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
How we handle remedial sealant in Boars Hill
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you have thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Boars Hill, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.

Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Remedial sealant in Boars Hill: 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 Wootton St Peter's Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
