What remedial sealant looks like in Steeple Barton
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Heyford station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. 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. For a village or hamlet like Steeple Barton, 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.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Common problems we fix in Steeple Barton
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Schools such as Middle Barton Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY versus a professional finish
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, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
