What we are called out for in Otford
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How we handle remedial sealant in Otford
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Smaller places like Otford still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Otford
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Otford Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Otford station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What happens if it’s left?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Otford, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Run the fan after every shower
- Never seal over old silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, including the tidy-up. Parking around Otford is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
