Problem with your failed sealant joints in Thame? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What we’re called out for in Thame
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Torn expansion joints
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How we handle remedial sealant in Thame
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are a second bead peeling off the first and torn expansion joints.
Plenty of homes in a town like Thame have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What else we do in Thame
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, 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, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking in a town like Thame is generally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- 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.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
If you manage several properties in or around Thame, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What remedial sealant looks like in Thame
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Thame has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barley Hill Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
