Remedial sealant in Faringdon
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, we can put it right.
In and around Faringdon, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a smaller place like Faringdon, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Homes in smaller places like Faringdon can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you need remedial sealant in Faringdon?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Faringdon Community College, 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 booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day

FAQs for Faringdon
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Faringdon?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover Faringdon for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Faringdon is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we will not pretend it will.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes, generally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Deal with small splits early
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
