About our remedial sealant in Plaxtol
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Around Plaxtol, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Landlord and commercial work in Plaxtol
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Plaxtol needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How we quote for remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Remedial sealant in Plaxtol: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Borough Green & Wrotham station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Plaxtol Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
FAQs for Plaxtol

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Plaxtol in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Plaxtol is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
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 the only way the new joint will last.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
