Remedial sealant in Ducklington
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a second bead peeling off the first and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
Around Ducklington, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in.

Ducklington homes and their sealant
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ducklington. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Ducklington Primary School, 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. Homes close to Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. In a small place like Ducklington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
