Remedial sealant in Steeple Aston
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 work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about products that weren’t meant for the joint and beads that never stuck properly.
Being in a small place like Steeple Aston 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
FAQs for Steeple Aston

The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before we start.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Do not point over movement joints
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Steeple Aston can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work.

- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Remedial sealant around Steeple Aston
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Heyford station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as Dr Radcliffe's Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
