Mastic Training Courses & Professional Services

Darren Salton is a professional mastic specialist based in Bedfordshire, known for precision, long-lasting results, and clean finishes across bathrooms, kitchens, windows, and floors.

Alongside providing expert resealing services, Darren now offers hands-on mastic training courses designed to help others master the craft.

Each course combines real-world techniques, insider trade knowledge, and step-by-step guidance — ensuring every trainee leaves confident, skilled, and ready to earn.

Learn a Trade That Pays for Life — Become a Skilled Mastic Professional

If you’ve ever wanted a skill that gives you freedom, reliable income, and pride in your work — this is it.

Darren’s 5-Day Hands-On Mastic Training Course teaches you everything you need to deliver flawless, watertight finishes across bathrooms, kitchens, and floors — with expert guidance from one of Bedfordshire’s most trusted professionals.

You’ll train directly with Darren in his purpose-built training space, learning the same real-world techniques, materials, and systems used on professional sites.

Each course is limited to just two trainees for personal, step-by-step coaching every day.

Course investment: £2,500

To get started, you’ll also need to purchase the Professional Starter Kit (£500) - a complete, trade-grade toolkit containing all the sealants, nozzles, and finishing tools Darren personally uses.

It’s compulsory because it ensures every trainee learns with the right equipment from day one - so you can produce professional-standard work and start earning immediately after the course.

Flexible payment options are available, making it easier to spread the cost and start your new career with confidence.

Most trainees go on to take on paying clients within weeks — because this isn’t just training.

It’s your route to a skill that pays for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone ready to learn a practical, high-earning trade - whether you’re starting fresh, a tradesperson adding new skills, or someone ready to leave a job that’s going nowhere.
You’ll be trained personally by Darren - not an assistant - so every technique you learn is what’s actually used on professional jobs across homes and construction sites.

* If you can hold a sealant gun and pay attention to detail, you can learn this skill.*

2. Do I need any experience?

None at all. Many trainees have never picked up a sealant gun before.
By the end of five days, you’ll know how to prep, seal, and finish clean, watertight joints — with the confidence to take on paying work.

*You don’t need to be “handy”. You just need to be willing to learn.*

3. What makes Darren’s training different?

This isn’t classroom theory - it’s real-world, hands-on learning in a purpose-built training environment that mirrors real jobs.

You’ll work with the same professional materials and tools Darren uses daily on client sites, with personalised feedback throughout the course.

Each session is limited to just two trainees, so you’ll never get lost in the crowd - every question is answered, every technique perfected.

4. What’s included in the £2,500 course fee?

You’ll get:

5 full days of intensive, hands-on training with Darren
Train in a purpose-built environment featuring real baths, shower trays, toilets, windows, and flooring — so you learn in the same conditions you’ll face on real jobs.
Expert guidance on pricing, quoting, and winning work
Lifetime access to Darren’s WhatsApp support for advice and troubleshooting
Tea, coffee, water, soft drinks and snacks provided.

Professional Starter Kit (£500 – required purchase)

To get started, you’ll also need to purchase Darren’s Professional Starter Kit, which includes every sealant, nozzle, and trade-grade tool you’ll use during training and in your first jobs.

It’s compulsory because it ensures you train - and work - with the correct tools from day one, giving you the confidence and quality finish that clients expect.

Most trainees start earning shortly after completing the course - this kit ensures you’re ready to do exactly that.

5. Can I spread the cost of training?

We know investing in your future is a big decision - so we make it easy.

Flexible payment options are available, allowing you to spread the cost and secure your place without delay.

You can pay in full or split payments before the course begins - whichever works best for you.

Once external finance options such as Klarna or PayPal Pay in 3 are live, you’ll also be able to spread payments over time directly at checkout
(subject to status and approval by the finance provider).

There are no hidden fees, and your place is confirmed as soon as your first payment is received.

We believe learning a skill that changes your income shouldn’t be out of reach - that’s why we keep payments flexible, clear, and fair.

6. Why should I pay for training when I can learn on YouTube?

YouTube can show you clips - but it can’t teach you the precision, control, and judgement that separates a professional finish from a messy one.

In mastic work, the smallest error costs you time, money, and reputation.

Darren’s course cuts out years of trial and error and replaces it with hands-on mastery.
You’ll learn directly from a seasoned professional who’s spent 6 years perfecting his craft across hundreds of homes and sites.

You’ll also learn what YouTube doesn’t teach:

How to price, quote, and communicate with clients
How to choose products that last (and avoid the ones that fail)
How to build a repeat client base and charge confidently

*YouTube gives you theory. Darren gives you a trade that pays.*

7. What if I’m not confident I’ll be good enough?

That’s exactly why classes are limited to just two people.
Darren teaches step-by-step - and if you’re struggling, he adjusts until you get it right.

Still not confident at the end?

You can return for a free shadow day, joining Darren on live jobs to refine your skills until you’re ready.

*You’ll never be left on your own to figure it out*

8. I don’t live near Bedford - can I still attend?

Yes. There’s comfortable on-site accommodation above the training studio for those travelling from further afield.
It’s quiet, convenient, and designed to make your week as stress-free as possible.

No commute, no distractions - just pure focus on your course.

9. How do I book my place?

Each course is capped at two trainees, and spaces fill up fast.

*The November course currently has one space left - once they’re gone, they’re gone.
