Remedial Sealant in Shobley
Failed sealant joints in Shobley need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
How we handle remedial sealant in Shobley
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you are dealing with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and torn expansion joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Shobley, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shobley as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shobley
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shobley, 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 we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Shobley

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Shobley, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shobley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Poulner Infant School are buildings too, and 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
