Remedial sealant in Aldingbourne, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and beads that never stuck properly.
Around Aldingbourne, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Aldingbourne
I let a flat near Barnham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Aldingbourne?
Yes. Aldingbourne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Aldingbourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldingbourne
For anyone letting property in or around Aldingbourne, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common problems we fix in Aldingbourne
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- Are they insured?
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never seal over old silicone
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What remedial sealant looks like in Aldingbourne
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you look after a building such as Aldingbourne Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Want a quote for remedial sealant? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. 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 Aldingbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
