Remedial sealant & repairs in Great Tew, Oxfordshire
Remedial sealant across Great Tew and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
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.
Remedial sealant in Great Tew, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. Typical jobs include beads that never stuck properly and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Somewhere as small as Great Tew, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Tew as everywhere else we work.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
What affects the quote in Great Tew
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Great Tew, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Yes, Great Tew is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Great Tew, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What remedial sealant looks like in Great Tew
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Great Tew County Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
