Remedial sealant around Shepway
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.
Managing a site like Greenfields Community Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Maidstone West station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to St Martin's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Remedial sealant in Shepway, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Homes around Shepway range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

FAQs for Shepway
Do you cover Shepway for remedial sealant?
Yes, Shepway is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Maidstone West station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Shepway, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a smaller place like Shepway, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Shepway
- Old sealant always removed completely

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
