About our remedial sealant in Stanway
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Common call-outs are for worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Around Stanway, it’s 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What remedial sealant looks like in Stanway
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Stanway has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Albright include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Stanway Primary 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.

What we are called out for in Stanway
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
For landlords with property near Marks Tey station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Stanway, 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common questions in Stanway
Do you work in hotels near Stanway?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover smaller places like Stanway?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
