How we handle remedial sealant in Water Stratford
In Water Stratford, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
Around Water Stratford, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Questions from Water Stratford
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Water Stratford?
All our work, in Water Stratford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do remedial sealant in Water Stratford?
Yes, Water Stratford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We will tell you what we find.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
Water Stratford homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Around Water Stratford, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Water Stratford
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Water Stratford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Water Stratford, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What we are called out for in Water Stratford
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Black mould underneath the bead
Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
