Peldon Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Peldon? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Never seal over old silicone
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

Peldon homes and their sealant
Peldon is within about 2 miles of 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. 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 Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Peldon, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we’re called out for in Peldon
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Rented homes near Wivenhoe station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
- How much experience the applicator has

FAQs for Peldon
Will you come out to Peldon?
Yes. Peldon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wivenhoe station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a small place like Peldon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
