Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Halnaker
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are over-sealed joints coming away and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
For a small place like Halnaker, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We will tell you what we find.

Will it make a mess?

Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Halnaker and the rest of West Sussex.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
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
- Do not point over movement joints
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
When to call us in Halnaker
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Homes close to The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Halnaker, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What remedial sealant looks like in Halnaker
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
