Problem with your failed sealant joints in Rush Green? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

About our remedial sealant in Rush Green
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you’re dealing with repeat leaks from the same joint and beads that never stuck properly, we can help.
Even in a smaller place like Rush Green, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Homes in smaller places like Rush Green can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Rush Green

Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.

Will it make a mess?

Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Rush Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Rush Green
- Botched or over-sealed joints

Rush Green homes and their sealant
Rush Green is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Clacton-On-Sea station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Ravens Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
