The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a London area like Hill End, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Remedial sealant in Hill End
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and leaks that keep coming back after resealing. Mr Mastic is a mastic company, not a general handyman, so remedial sealant in Hill End is done by someone who does this every day.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Hill End, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hill End
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Hill End: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Rickmansworth station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Hill End?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
You’ll hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hill End
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
Schools such as Harefield Infant School are buildings too, and 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. For landlords with property near Rickmansworth station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
What we are called out for in Hill End
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Hill End is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
