Mashbury homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Mashbury Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Mashbury
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Common call-outs are for gaps opening along the back of the worktop and beads that never stuck properly, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
Being in a small place like Mashbury makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Do not point over movement joints
- Never seal over old silicone
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
FAQs for Mashbury
Do you cover Mashbury for remedial sealant?
Yes, Mashbury is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Mashbury within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Mashbury needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Common problems we fix in Mashbury
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
Letting a property close to Chelmsford station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is VAT in the price?
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

How we quote for remedial sealant

- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
