How we quote for bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height

- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Balscote
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Common call-outs are for damp behind the bath or under the tray and black spots spreading through the bead, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Homes around Balscote are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Balscote
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Balscote, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Balscote?
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a small place like Balscote, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
FAQs for Balscote
Do you cover smaller places like Balscote?
Yes, Balscote is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Banbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
