Remedial sealant in Fobbing, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you are dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Around Fobbing, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Fobbing
Do you cover Fobbing for remedial sealant?

Do you work for landlords with property near Basildon station?

Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Fobbing and the rest of Thurrock.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Fobbing, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Fobbing
Fobbing is within about 3 miles 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ortu Corringham Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Basildon station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Movement from fittings that are not supported

Joints and surfaces we work on

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
