Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Eling
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
Smaller places like Eling still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What else we do in Eling
Common questions in Eling
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Totton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Eling?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Why act early in Eling
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In an older home around Eling, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Eling
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
When to call us in Eling
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The most common problems we see are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
If you look after a building such as Eling Infant School and Nursery, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. A visit to Eling is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.

Remedial sealant around Eling
Eling is within about 1 mile of 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Totton station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Eling is about 1 mile south-east of Totton, in Southampton. Every kind of property in Eling is covered for remedial sealant, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Our Southampton coverage runs to 40 places, and Eling is one of them.
