About our remedial sealant in Shutford
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you’re dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Shutford 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shutford and across Oxfordshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Shutford, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Common problems we fix in Shutford
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Letting a property close to Banbury station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Why act early in Shutford
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Shutford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

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

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shutford
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Shutford
I let a flat near Banbury station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Shutford?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
