Remedial sealant in Gaskins, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot 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 have torn expansion joints and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Gaskins are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Gaskins
Gaskins is close to 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. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up 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 St Helens Primary School, 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.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep the room well ventilated
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Gaskins, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about remedial sealant in Gaskins
Do you work for landlords with property near Brading station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Gaskins?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Common problems we fix in Gaskins
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
For an older house near a landmark such as St Catherine-by-the-Green, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, 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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why act early in Gaskins
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Gaskins, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
