Remedial Sealant in West Ashling
Problem with your failed sealant joints in West Ashling? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
How we handle remedial sealant in West Ashling
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you’re dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
For a small place like West Ashling, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in West Ashling and everywhere else we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
What affects the quote in West Ashling
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as West Ashling, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you cover smaller places like West Ashling?
Yes. West Ashling is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Where do you work from?

My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, usually. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.

What sealant work cannot fix

- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

Remedial sealant in West Ashling: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Funtington Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Bosham station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
