- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Run the fan after every shower
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
About our remedial sealant in Stubbles
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and over-sealed joints coming away.
Being in a small place like Stubbles makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Stubbles
Do you need remedial sealant in Stubbles?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
In the older streets around Church of St Clement, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Stubbles, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Stubbles
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stubbles can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Stubbles

Take a look at what affects the cost and our reviews.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
