How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Deal with small splits early
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Do not point over movement joints
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Bramber needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Bramber questions
Do you work in hotels near Bramber?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover smaller places like Bramber?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint

You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Signs you need remedial sealant in Bramber
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Schools such as Upper Beeding Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bramber homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bramber. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Shoreham-By-Sea station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
