About our remedial sealant in Widley
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you are dealing with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Widley, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Widley, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Widley
Will you come out to Widley?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Cosham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
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. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
What remedial sealant looks like in Widley
Widley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you look after a building such as Purbrook Park School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Widley is about 1 mile south-west of Purbrook, in Hampshire. From the centre of Widley to the outskirts, remedial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike. Widley is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for remedial sealant.
Work in PO7 and PO6 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Lily Avenue, Park Avenue and Hoylake Road, and we cover them all. We also cover Purbrook Heath (1 mile north), Drayton (1 mile south), Farlington (1 mile south-east), Purbrook (1 mile north-east) and Cosham (1 mile south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Gosport (6 miles south-west), Havant (3 miles east), Eastleigh (15 miles north-west), Fareham (6 miles west), Horndean (4 miles north-east) and Hedge End (12 miles west).
What’s near Widley
We work in homes and buildings around Springfield School, Solent Junior School and George Inn, among other places. The nearest railway station is Cosham station, about 1.3 miles south-west. Well-known places in the area include Portchester Castle (3.2 miles south-west) and Queen Alexandra Hospital (1 mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Widley
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Rented homes near Cosham station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What to look for in a quote
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Do not point over movement joints
- Run the fan after every shower
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Widley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
