About our remedial sealant in Thornborough
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about leaks that keep coming back after resealing and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Around Thornborough, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Thornborough
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Thornborough, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Thornborough can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Thornborough: your questions answered
Is remedial sealant in Thornborough guaranteed?
All our work, in Thornborough and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Thornborough for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Thornborough is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Thornborough.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
