Eastwick: your questions answered
Do older homes in Eastwick need their sealant replacing?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Is Eastwick within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Eastwick?
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’ll talk you through it.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
How we handle remedial sealant in Eastwick
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We’re often asked to deal with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, across expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Eastwick, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Do you need remedial sealant in Eastwick?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
If you look after a building such as Pemberley Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Remedial sealant around Eastwick
Harlow, which Eastwick is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Botolph, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Harlow Town station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Eastwick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Eastwick, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Eastwick
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
