- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Hill Head
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. Typical jobs include sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Hill Head, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hill Head as everywhere else we work.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Hill Head and the rest of Hampshire.
How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Hill Head, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Signs you need remedial sealant in Hill Head
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Look out for these signs:
- Torn expansion joints
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you live in an older home near Holy Rood Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee

Remedial sealant in Hill Head: local notes
Hill Head is within about 1 mile of 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, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Crofton Hammond 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hill Head can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
