Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Bearsted
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. We’re often asked to deal with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and dark patches showing through the sealant, across failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Smaller places like Bearsted still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Bearsted
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property

Questions from Bearsted
Will you come out to Bearsted?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Bearsted in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bearsted is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Bearsted
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Bearsted station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thurnham Church of England Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bearsted
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Bearsted is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- 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’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Bearsted
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
In the older streets around Holy Cross Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
