Why act early in Maxton
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a small place like Maxton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Remedial sealant in Maxton, done properly
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. We work on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and a second bead peeling off the first.
Somewhere as small as Maxton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Maxton: your questions answered
Is Maxton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Dover Priory station. Can you help?
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’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Do you need remedial sealant in Maxton?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Homes close to St Martin's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Maxton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Advice
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
