Remedial sealant & repairs in Deptford, Greater London
Failed sealant joints in Deptford need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

How we handle remedial sealant in Deptford
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. If you have wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Deptford questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Deptford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in Deptford?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Deptford and the rest of Greater London.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Deptford?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Why act early in Deptford
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Deptford.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What remedial sealant looks like in Deptford
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Deptford. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
If you look after a building such as Tidemill Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Deptford is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Deptford
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
In the older streets around St. Paul's, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- What preparation is included
