About our remedial sealant in Ryarsh
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are movement joints that have split or pulled away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
Homes around Ryarsh are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Remedial sealant in Ryarsh: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ryarsh. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ryarsh Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Ryarsh, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Your questions about remedial sealant in Ryarsh
Do you cover smaller places like Ryarsh?
Yes, Ryarsh is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near West Malling station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep the room well ventilated
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What we are called out for in Ryarsh
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.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Letting a property close to West Malling station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
