How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Buscot, 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.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- 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.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Remedial sealant in Buscot, done properly
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are products that weren’t meant for the joint and torn expansion joints.
Somewhere as small as Buscot, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Buscot
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Buscot can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Never seal over old silicone
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

Common questions in Buscot
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Buscot?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Buscot for remedial sealant?
Yes, Buscot is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Buscot.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What remedial sealant looks like in Buscot
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In and around Buscot, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Homes close to The Church of St Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
