About our bathroom resealing in Arborfield Garrison
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Common call-outs are for leaks into the floor or ceiling below and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units.
Around Arborfield Garrison, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Arborfield Garrison?
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Letting a property close to Wokingham station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Arborfield Garrison: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Wokingham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Arborfield Garrison within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Arborfield Garrison, along with the rest of our area.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Arborfield Garrison?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Arborfield Garrison homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around St Eligius, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bohunt School Wokingham, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. A visit to Arborfield Garrison is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. In a smaller place like Arborfield Garrison, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
