What affects the quote in Avisford

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The number and length of the joints

Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

About our remedial sealant in Avisford

Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you have a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can help.

Homes around Avisford are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Leave it or put it right?

Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around Avisford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Why choose Mr Mastic in Avisford

  • ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Colour agreed with you before we start
  • We never seal over old sealant
  • Sealant colour chosen to suit

See our cost guide or what customers say.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
  • Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
  • Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Expansion joints
  • Failed movement joints
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints

Keeping the joints in good condition

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
  • Keep the room well ventilated
  • Check ceilings under showers for marks
  • Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing

Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.

A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Remedial sealant around Avisford

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Schools such as Walberton and Binsted CofE 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. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Barnham station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Avisford

Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham station?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Will you come out to Avisford?

Yes. Avisford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?

Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.

What we do, step by step

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll 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 as small as Avisford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
  2. We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
  4. Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
  5. Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice

Should I try it myself first?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

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 fails, we can still redo it.
