Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Wivelrod
Not every leak is a sealant leak. 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. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are a second bead peeling off the first and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Homes around Wivelrod are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.

Is Wivelrod within the area you cover?

Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Wivelrod and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What sealant do you use?
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.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Wivelrod, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Wivelrod
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Letting a property close to Alton station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
Wivelrod homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Chapel of Alton Abbey include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wivelrod
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wivelrod, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
