Remedial sealant in Budds, done properly
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We’re often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Being in a small place like Budds makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Budds: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hildenborough station?

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Budds.
How long does the work take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
When to call us in Budds
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
If you let a flat or house near Hildenborough station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Remedial sealant around Budds
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Shipbourne School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Giles, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Budds, 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.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
