Why it’s worth doing now in Compton
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Compton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Remedial sealant in Compton, done properly
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are often asked to deal with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and beads that never stuck properly, across expansion joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
In a village or hamlet like Compton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What affects the quote in Compton
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Compton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

Common problems we fix in Compton
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loseley Fields Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

- Botched or over-sealed joints

Compton homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Farncombe station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Should I try DIY first?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
