About our remedial sealant in Richborough Port
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
For a small place like Richborough Port, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Landlord and commercial work in Richborough Port
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we are called out for in Richborough Port
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Managing a site like Sir Roger Manwood's School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement

Questions from Richborough Port
Is Richborough Port within the area you cover?
Yes. Richborough Port is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thanet Parkway station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
What affects the quote in Richborough Port
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Richborough Port homes and their sealant
Richborough Port 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, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Why act early in Richborough Port
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Older cottages and farmhouses around Richborough Port can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
