Remedial sealant in Doddington, done properly
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Homes around Doddington are mostly 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Remedial sealant around Doddington

What affects the quote in Doddington
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- The number of rooms or windows
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What we are called out for in Doddington
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
In the older streets around Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
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.

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 work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Doddington, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom is not generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Doddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Doddington
Do you work for landlords with property near Teynham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Doddington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you work on commercial sites?
