DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Remedial sealant in Moulsecoomb, done properly
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you have over-sealed joints coming away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Moulsecoomb, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Moulsecoomb and across Brighton and Hove.

What happens if it’s left?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a smaller place like Moulsecoomb, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Moulsecoomb: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Moulsecoomb station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Moulsecoomb?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before any work starts.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Moulsecoomb, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
Moulsecoomb homes and their sealant
Moulsecoomb is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St. Andrew's, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Moulsecoomb Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Moulsecoomb station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
