About our remedial sealant in Foxash Estate
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Somewhere as small as Foxash Estate, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a small place like Foxash Estate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Foxash Estate

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Foxash Estate
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal

Foxash Estate is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Manningtree station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
