What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Almshouse Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Bathroom resealing in Almshouse Green
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
In a village or hamlet like Almshouse Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Bathroom resealing around Almshouse Green
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Hedingham School and Sixth Form are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In and around Almshouse Green, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Almshouse Green
Can you do bathroom resealing in Almshouse Green?
Yes, Almshouse Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Almshouse Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Almshouse Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
