- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Alverstone
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Common call-outs are for shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Being in a small place like Alverstone makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Questions from Alverstone
Is Alverstone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Alverstone for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Alverstone is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. 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.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Why it’s worth doing now in Alverstone
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Around Alverstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Colour picked to suit the job

What we’re called out for in Alverstone
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Alverstone, access is often the only tricky part. 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, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Bathroom resealing in Alverstone: local notes
Alverstone 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Newchurch Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Sandown station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What we cannot put right

- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported

- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
