My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Remedial sealant in Oxhey
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We are often asked to deal with a second bead peeling off the first and beads that never stuck properly, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In and around Oxhey, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

Landlord and commercial work in Oxhey
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents and landlords in Oxhey can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Oxhey, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Fully insured
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Remedial sealant in Oxhey: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Oxhey has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Bushey station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Church of St James, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Bushey Manor Junior School? Then 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.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to Oxhey is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
