Remedial sealant in Christmas Common, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Around Christmas Common, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Christmas Common and across Oxfordshire.

Do you need remedial sealant in Christmas Common?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In the older streets around Church of the Nativity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- Are they insured?

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Christmas Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Your questions about remedial sealant in Christmas Common
Can you do remedial sealant in Christmas Common?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Christmas Common is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Christmas Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Christmas Common
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
What affects the quote in Christmas Common
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
