How we handle remedial sealant in Emsworth
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Even in a smaller place like Emsworth, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. 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 one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to Emsworth is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Signs you need remedial sealant in Emsworth
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Schools such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
Emsworth questions
Is Emsworth in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Emsworth is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Emsworth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
What remedial sealant looks like in Emsworth
Emsworth 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, so limescale builds up 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 James, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Emsworth station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Why deal with it now?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a smaller place like Emsworth, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We’re fully insured
- Tidy, careful work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
See our cost guide and customer reviews.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
