Our bathroom resealing service in Southend-on-Sea
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are splits where the tray meets the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Where we work in Southend-on-Sea
Southend-on-Sea has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Prittlewell, Shoeburyness and Leigh-on-Sea there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Southend-on-Sea, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in. Along the coast in Southend-on-Sea, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that’s where sealant usually gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Southend-on-Sea: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westborough Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Prittlewell station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Why act early?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Southend-on-Sea questions
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Southend-on-Sea, along with the rest of our area.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Southend-on-Sea?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
