About our remedial sealant in Eddington
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about beads that never stuck properly and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Smaller places like Eddington still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Eddington
Eddington is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Eddington. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Church of St Martin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking around Eddington is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Other services in Eddington
Landlord and commercial work in Eddington
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eddington
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Homes in smaller places like Eddington can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

- 12-month guarantee on every job

FAQs for Eddington
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Eddington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
When to call us in Eddington
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Herne Bay High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
