Your questions about remedial sealant in Hawkenbury
Will you come out to Hawkenbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Staplehurst station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You’ll hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How we handle remedial sealant in Hawkenbury
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
In a village or hamlet like Hawkenbury, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Deal with small splits early
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Remedial sealant around Hawkenbury

Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Hawkenbury, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Quotes for remedial sealant in Hawkenbury
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Hawkenbury and across Kent. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Hawkenbury, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you need remedial sealant in Hawkenbury?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you let a flat or house near Staplehurst station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
