About our remedial sealant in Bowsey Hill
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you’re dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and beads that never stuck properly, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Bowsey Hill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Bowsey Hill
Is Bowsey Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Bowsey Hill in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bowsey Hill is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
The process
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. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Bowsey Hill, 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bowsey Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Bowsey Hill homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St Paul's Mission Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Wargrave station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, then reseal neatly.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Bowsey Hill
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A second bead peeling off the first
Managing a site like Crazies Hill CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
