- Beads that never stuck properly
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
About our remedial sealant in Yarnton
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you have sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Yarnton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Yarnton questions
I let a flat near Oxford Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Yarnton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Yarnton
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the cure time is

Bathrooms and kitchens in Yarnton
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.
Rented homes near Oxford Parkway station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as William Fletcher 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.

Local landmarks in Yarnton
Around Yarnton, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Red Lion pub and Gosford Hill School. For rail, the closest station is Oxford Parkway station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.

Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In a small place like Yarnton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
