Looking after it afterwards

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Check ceilings under showers for marks
  • Never seal over old silicone
  • Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
  • Keep the room well ventilated

Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.

A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

About our remedial sealant in Eynsford

Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for leaks that keep coming back after resealing and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints.

Being in a small place like Eynsford makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Do you need remedial sealant in Eynsford?

Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
  • Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
  • Torn expansion joints
  • Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area

Letting a property close to Eynsford station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How to choose a mastic man

How it works

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Eynsford, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
  2. All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
  4. We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
  5. The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.

Before we arrive

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

Common questions in Eynsford

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Eynsford?

Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.

Will you come out to Eynsford?

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 you reseal a split movement joint?

Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.

Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?

Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.

What if resealing won’t fix my leak?

Then we explain what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Is there any odour?

Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?

Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.

Why it’s worth doing now in Eynsford

Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eynsford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How the job changes by surface

Movement & expansion joints

Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.

Over-sealed & botched joints

A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.

Eynsford homes and their sealant

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Eynsford. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

Schools such as The Anthony Roper 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. Homes close to Church of Saint Martin include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
