Shirkoak homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Parish Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Ham Street station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Shirkoak
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and black mould underneath the bead, on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Being in a small place like Shirkoak makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What we’re called out for in Shirkoak
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Managing a site like Woodchurch Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Shirkoak, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.

Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?

Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.

- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shirkoak
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 stripping is where most of our time goes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shirkoak, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Shirkoak
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We never seal over old sealant
- Full insurance on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
