About our remedial sealant in Farringdon
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Farringdon, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never seal over old silicone
- Find out why the sealant failed first
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.

How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
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.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Farringdon
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Farringdon?

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
