Why deal with it now?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hardwick can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- We leave the area clean and tidy

About our remedial sealant in Hardwick
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Hardwick, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Remedial sealant around Hardwick

If you let a flat or house near Bicester North station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What if resealing will not fix my leak?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Hardwick, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
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. 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.
How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Run the fan after every shower
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
