Remedial sealant in Faversham, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Faversham mixes older houses with estates built more recently, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Either way, the sealant and grout are normally the first things to fail.
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.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking in a town like Faversham is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy home in Faversham they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Do you need remedial sealant in Faversham?
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before any work starts.
