Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Remedial sealant in Breach
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Typical jobs include kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
For a small place like Breach, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around Breach, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Breach
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Beads that never stuck properly
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Breach needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

Remedial sealant in Breach: local notes
Breach 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.
Rented homes near Newington station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Newington Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Breach questions
I let a flat near Newington station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Breach?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Which products 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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
