Shippon: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Shippon?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is Shippon within the area you cover?
Yes, Shippon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Remedial sealant in Shippon, done properly
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Shippon are mostly 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why act early in Shippon
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a small place like Shippon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.

Shippon homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Shippon. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Larkmead 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. If you let a flat or house near Radley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Shippon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
How the job changes by 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 any new sealant goes on.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
