What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In a small place like Carter's Clay, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

How we handle remedial sealant in Carter's Clay
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you are dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Carter's Clay makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Carter's Clay and across Hampshire.

Carter's Clay questions
Do you cover Carter's Clay for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Carter's Clay is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Carter's Clay?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that is already there.
Does someone need to be in?
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.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Common problems we fix in Carter's Clay
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Rented homes near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Before you book anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
