Remedial sealant in Egerton Forstal
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about movement joints that have split or pulled away and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Homes around Egerton Forstal are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Egerton Forstal, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Do you cover smaller places like Egerton Forstal?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
What does remedial sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Egerton Forstal homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Pluckley station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Egerton Forstal, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Egerton Forstal, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
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.
Common problems we fix in Egerton Forstal
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Torn expansion joints
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
If you look after a building such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, 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.
