What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Bremirehoull
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Bremirehoull depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When to call us in Bremirehoull
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For jobs in and around Bremirehoull, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
