Remedial sealant & repairs in Allington, Kent
Remedial sealant for Allington and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Homes in smaller places like Allington can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Remedial sealant in Allington, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
In a smaller place like Allington, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Questions from Allington

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barming station?

What do you need from me for a quote?

Do you do commercial work?

How long does the work take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Where are you based?

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Allington
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
Schools such as Allington Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
How it works
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, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Allington, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Remedial sealant around Allington
Allington 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Barming station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as St. Nicholas' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
