Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Barkingside
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Barkingside. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about failed sealant on the screen profile and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Barkingside, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In a flat in Barkingside, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common problems we fix in Barkingside
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Barkingside is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Barkingside. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Barkingside
Can worn sealant in a flat in Barkingside cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking a problem for a job in Barkingside?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Barkingside
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Children's Church And Lych Gate At Barnardo's, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Avanti Court Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
