About our remedial sealant in Iwade
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and dark patches showing through the sealant.
Around Iwade, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Leave it or put it right?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Iwade, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Iwade: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Kemsley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Iwade in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Iwade is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Iwade?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking around Iwade is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work

What remedial sealant looks like in Iwade
Iwade is within about 1 mile of 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Kemsley station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Iwade
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Schools such as Iwade School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
