Remedial sealant around Temple
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
Managing a site like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Temple is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How we handle remedial sealant in Temple
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, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with repeat leaks from the same joint and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Temple, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
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.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Temple
Do you work for landlords with property near London Blackfriars station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Temple?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Temple, along with the rest of our area.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Why act early in Temple
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Temple, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Run the fan after every shower
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What we’re called out for in Temple
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Letting a property close to London Blackfriars station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. In Temple, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
