How we handle remedial sealant in Old Romney
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. Common call-outs are for gaps opening along the back of the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
For a small place like Old Romney, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Old Romney
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Appledore (Kent) station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Clement, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as The Marsh Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Romney
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Old Romney, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

What if the leak is not the sealant?
We’ll tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
