Remedial sealant for Tile Hurst and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tile Hurst
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you are dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can put it right, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Around Tile Hurst, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Bathrooms and kitchens in Tile Hurst
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Tile Hurst has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Grovelands Community Primary School? Then 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. For landlords with property near Polegate station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tile Hurst
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
How we quote for remedial sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Do you need remedial sealant in Tile Hurst?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
In the older streets around Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Tile Hurst questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polegate station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Tile Hurst within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Tile Hurst?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Tile Hurst needs a little journey planning: 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.
- 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.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
