Remedial sealant in Bassett
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you’re dealing with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Bassett, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

Remedial sealant around Bassett
Bassett is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and All Angels Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Swaythling station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like Cantell School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. In a smaller place like Bassett, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In an older home around Bassett, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
