Questions from Eddington
Is Eddington within the area you cover?
Yes, Eddington is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hungerford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 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.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Eddington and the rest of West Berkshire, along with the rest of our area.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
How we handle remedial sealant in Eddington
In Eddington, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Eddington, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Eddington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Getting a quote
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 photos if that’s easy.
Advice
Remedial sealant in Eddington: local notes
Eddington has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Hungerford station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Hungerford Methodist Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Signs you need remedial sealant 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 top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Managing a site like Hungerford Primary School? Then 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.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
