Remedial sealant in Great Wakering
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include mould trapped under a layer of silicone and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, across expansion joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Even in a smaller place like Great Wakering, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Remedial sealant around Great Wakering
Great Wakering is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Shoeburyness station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Great Wakering is about 1 mile north-east of Shoeburyness, in Southend-on-Sea. Every kind of property in Great Wakering is covered for remedial sealant, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. We cover 16 towns and villages across Southend-on-Sea, large and small. Our Chelmsford page covers work nearby.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.

What else we do in Great Wakering
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. A visit to Great Wakering is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work, and we are ARBOMaster approved.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
Then we explain what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Common problems we fix in Great Wakering
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Schools such as Great Wakering Primary Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
