About our remedial sealant in Balcombe Lane
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about leaks that keep coming back after resealing and torn expansion joints.
Being in a small place like Balcombe Lane makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Balcombe Lane and across West Sussex.

Balcombe Lane: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Balcombe Lane?
Yes, Balcombe Lane is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Balcombe station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

Remedial sealant in Balcombe Lane: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Balcombe station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Balcombe CofE Controlled 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.

The process
Once we’re 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 most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Balcombe Lane, 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 look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
