Ower questions
Is Ower within the area you cover?
Yes. Ower is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Ower for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ower is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
About our remedial sealant in Ower
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and dark patches showing through the sealant, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Being in a small place like Ower makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Ower
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Rented homes near Totton station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Ower, 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 look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Deal with small splits early
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Ower
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ower can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
