The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Wendlebury, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How we handle remedial sealant in Wendlebury
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Typical jobs include movement joints that have split or pulled away and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Being in a small place like Wendlebury 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Remedial sealant in Wendlebury: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Wendlebury 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Giles, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Bicester Village station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Wendlebury is about 2 miles south-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX25 area, we cover remedial sealant for homes and businesses. Wendlebury is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 9 miles away.
Work in OX25 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Streets in the area include Church Lane, St Giles Close and Rectory Close, all of which we cover. Close by, we work in Chesterton (1 mile north), Merton (2 miles south-east), Fencott (2 miles south-east), Charlton-on-Otmoor (2 miles south) and Ambrosden (3 miles east). Further out, we also cover Oxford (9 miles south), Banbury (15 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (14 miles south), Witney (14 miles south-west), Thame (13 miles south-east) and Kidlington (6 miles south-west).
Around Wendlebury
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Red Lion Public House. For rail, the closest station is Bicester Village station, roughly 2.1 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Bicester Community Hospital (2 miles north-east) and Ardley Castle (4.9 miles north). For a walk, there’s Woodsides Meadow and Graven Hill.
Why act early in Wendlebury
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wendlebury, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Questions from Wendlebury
Will you come out to Wendlebury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bicester Village station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
Then we explain what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Wendlebury?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that is already there.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
