Branstone homes and their sealant
Branstone is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Newchurch Primary School, 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.

Remedial sealant in Branstone, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. Common call-outs are for leaks that keep coming back after resealing and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Around Branstone, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Branstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Branstone questions
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Branstone for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Branstone is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why act early in Branstone
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Branstone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Branstone
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Every job guaranteed for a year

What affects the quote in Branstone
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Deal with small splits early
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Common problems we fix in Branstone
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
