How we handle remedial sealant in Launton
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. If you have torn expansion joints and over-sealed joints coming away, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Somewhere as small as Launton, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Launton and across Oxfordshire.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Launton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Launton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Bicester North station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Launton Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not point over movement joints
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep the room well ventilated
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
