What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Drayton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What remedial sealant looks like in Drayton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Banbury station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Common questions in Drayton
I let a flat near Banbury station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Drayton?
Yes, Drayton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Drayton
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Oxfordshire Academy, 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.
Questions to ask before you book
