About our remedial sealant in Loyter's Green
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
Being in a small place like Loyter's Green makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work, and we’re fully insured.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Common problems we fix in Loyter's Green
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Loyter's Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
