About our remedial sealant in Donnington
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. Typical jobs include sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Being in a small place like Donnington makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlord and commercial work in Donnington
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Donnington
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Donnington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. 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.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
Then we explain what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Donnington, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What we are called out for in Donnington
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
